Re: Do I sue landlord? Is it worth it?

I am a Delaware Landlord and I suggest you use the courts. It's only $40 to file.
Yes the landlord needs to have the security deposit in a bank stated on your lease. They need to provide proof if requested in writing. Recently I saw a lawyer on another matter and they mentioned this is a big deal if you go to court...it doesn't mean squat until the judge is asks.
I'll also tell you a lot of Delaware landlords don't do background checks (I don't know why). When my tenant that I was in the process of evicting was trying to move locally, I got several calls from landlords who told me they don't do background checks. When I told them the truth (yes I could have lied), I suspected they acted on that info based on the fact that my tenants moved to Florida.
As said before, take it to court. Good luck.
