Philip There are things you can do, but I am not the best to advise on that. There is a very good article in the Saturday paper regarding landlord tenant legal issues you might want to start reading. Its in the homes section and always a good read. Good luck with your situation. Ron Leurquin Nokomis East

My landlord really neglects our building. never responds to maintenance requests and there are some pretty severe problems (like electrical problems). My roommate and I have decided to vacate the apartment. However, two sets of former tenants have not ever received their security deposits back and have sued the landlords. Does anyone know if there is something that I can do before moving out to ensure that I receive my security deposit back... Are there any city ordinances that govern this type of thing? Also, do apartments ever get inspected by the city? The building is literally falling apart at this point. Thanks! Matthew Philip The Wedge REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
