Need Attorney Referral

Hello,

I am an investor in Michigan. A good friend of mine just moved out of a house in Las Vegas that he had lived in with his family for 4 years. The landlord gave him an excellent reference and seemed to be going smoothly. The landlord then changed his tune when it came time to return his security deposit. I'll spare you a long story but the house was left in good condition, my friend has numerous pictures to back this up and the landlord is withholding the $1400 deposit.

I'm wondering if anyone has a good Las Vegas RE attorney you could recommend. At minimum he is going to need a demand letter sent to this landlord. At maximum this could need to go to court.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks.

The landlord should provide a written list of deductions that the secuirity deposit was used for. This has to be provided tobthebtenant within 30 days. If that was not provided the landlord is opening themelves up to further liability.
