Security deposit
I gave my landlord $1350 security deposit and now that I moved out he’s making me wait until he rents the apartment to give some of it back to me, because I moved out before the end of the month. We had no lease. I paid month to month and there was never any other verbal agreements as far as notice for leaving the apartment. What can I do to get my money back in full? He inspected the apartment and I gave him the keys and he said he would mail me a check for only $1015. I feel I should get it all back. He did not do any work on the apartment in the 3 years I lived there. I don’t even have an address for him, only a cell phone number.

Contract for Deed Question
I have visited several websites that offer the forms to help you set up a contract for deed. On one of the sites I viewed it indicated that some states require the contract to be recorded to show proof of the agreement and other states do not. I am trying to find out the specifics for the state of Illinois. I want to make sure that the contract is legally binding and I am not sure if I have to record anything through the state or if the buyer signing the contract for deed document is all I need.

Thanks

deceased parents property sold on contract for deed
Our father has been deceased for 9 years now. He has sold land on contract for deed 26 years ago. The house in IL has been abandoned. My father had no money. The city where the house stands is trying to make us pay for the tearing down of the home. After 26 years are his siblings responsible. Or the abandoner?
