Security deposit surprise: my old landlord had to itemize in Ohio
After I moved out of my place in Columbus, my landlord kept $400 from my deposit for 'carpet cleaning' without proof. I looked up Ohio law and found out landlords have 30 days to send an itemized list or they forfeit the whole deposit. I sent a certified letter quoting the exact statute, and got a check for the full amount in under a week. My roommate said I wasted time, but that one detail saved us real money. Has anyone else fought a deposit and won with a simple legal citation?

Pretty sure the itemized list rule is 30 days under Ohio law, but ok.
