A lot of people are going to face some hard times soon and the last thing we need is for the better off to run old scams on the less powerful.And "We're keeping the bond" is the oldest scam in the books.What actually happens is your landlord applies to a trust to release the bond. You can do that too, and in fact you should.The landlord WILL claim the bond and in the absence of a claim from you, they'll get it uncontested.But once you claim it, they have to show why they deserve it. And they usually get a lot more reasonable after this.It varies by state but you basically just have to lodge a form.
