To protect reputations, I will not be using any names.
Two months ago, we moved out of our old apartment into our new home.
We left the apartment in good condition, so we’ve been waiting for them to return our deposit check of about $600. After two months with no word from them, I started preparing myself mentally to go talk to them (I don’t like confrontations, and avoid them whenever possible).
My wife and I agreed Monday was their deadline. Monday’s mail came, and we got a little surprise from our old landlords.
Now, I know we gave them our new address at least twice. I wrote it down for them when I told them we were moving out, and I watched them write it down on the day we actually left.
But, when we got the check in the mail, the envelope had gone through the Post Offices’ mail-forwarding system. Why? Because my old landlords had mailed the return-deposit check to our old address at their apartment complex.
