Ed Janicki / Janicki Apartments
Deceptive landlord/owner

After living in an apartment for 5 years and dealing with the landlords constant rent increase, with the last one being a whopping hundred dollar increase. I submitted my 30 day notice to vacate, which I didnt really want to do due, to the fact that I had recently repainted the entire place, purchased new miniblinds for all the windows, new outlet covers, etc. Just had the carpet cleaned also.

Being a single mother of three children with no outside financial assistance only my single income, could not afford a hundred dollar increase on such short notice. So I was basically forced out of my apartment by this person.

Now, although he gave me an outstanding letter of recommendation saying that I had never been late on my rent payments, how well behaved my children were, and how appreciative he was that I had painted the place on my own and at my own expense, it has now been one month and he has not made any attempt to give my $300 dollar deposit back. I left the unit in far better condition than when I first moved in.

I cannot afford an attorney. What can I do? In the Tenants Rights Handbook it says that "if, within 21 days, the landlord does not provide you with a statement itemizing the deductions from the security deposit, the landlord loses the right to retain ANY of the security deposit, and must return the entire deposit to you. Is this the law and how can I demand payment from him? He avoids my calls now.

Please help! The property is located in the village of Carlsbad, at 3183 Jefferson St, the landlord/owner's name is Ed Janicki P.O. Box 592 Carlsbad, Ca 92018. Thank you very much for your time.
