My landlord won't return my security deposit. What can I do?

The deposit is fully refundable minus genuine damage (beyond normal wear) and unpaid bills. Do a joint move-out inspection, clear and close your DEWA account, and request the refund in writing with photos and receipts. If the landlord refuses without valid reason, file at the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre; deposit-refund claims are typically decided within about 7-15 days.
