In Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth, 118 S. Ct. 2257 (1998), and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 118 S. Ct. 2275 (1998), the Supreme Court made clear that employers are subject to vicarious liability for unlawful harassment by supervisors.
FAQ â What can a tenant do if the landlord does not provide the security deposit? The landlord has 10 days to deliver a statement of account with a cheque for the security deposit (if there is money owing after any deductions) to the tenant. âDeliverâ means the landlord must put the statement in the mail within 10 days of the tenant moving out. It does not mean the tenant has to receive it within 10 days.
Some states require this type of demand letter before the tenant can begin a small claims case. Obviously, if you have failed to meet your state deadline for returning the deposit (45 days in Virginia), do what you can to make things right.
