First, did you do what you were supposed to do when you moved out, which was to leave your LL the keys, leave the place clean, in really good shape with no damage, and leave a written letter with your forwarding address on it, for the LL to send the security deposit statement to? If you did all that, consider yourself a really good tenant. If not, shame on you. As for finding the LL, try checking utility companies, the post office, or your city's assessors office, to try to get a current address for him. Until you get an address for him, apparently you cannot file in the court system against him. That happens to us LLs a lot, too, that we cannot find a T that we want to take to court. Good luck on your search.
