Chicago Landlord Returned Security Deposit No Interest

[David Rogers]

Hello BiggerPockets,

My former Chicago landlord just mailed my security deposit back without interest. I know it'd be only about $1 but it seems he should know the procedure for this sort of thing and should not be taking any chances. Should I request the interest, call a lawyer, or leave it alone?

I wouldn't even spend the time to post on this forum about a buck much less bother him with it.
