1. discreetly notify the ex landlord of your current mailing address. You'll have to do it on a case by case basic. You do not want to let them know you want the deposit.
2. wait 15 days and pray they forget
3. bingo - if you don't receive your deposit within 15 days of having told them where you live, you can file for a claim for double the deposit.
4. landlords are not allowed to deduct any amounts from the deposit for any reason except a) tenant permission or b) an order from an arbitrator

great tip! I am passing this along to everyone I know .... this is all about doing due diligence. Any landlord that does not know what they are doing and makes these kinds of mistakes deserves all that the law can do to punish them.
