Hudson Homes won’t return my security deposit — what can I do?
The short answer
If your state’s deadline (often 30 days) has passed and Hudson Homes hasn’t returned your deposit or sent a proper itemized statement, it may have forfeited its right to keep any of it — and in some states you can recover a penalty on top. The key is the deadline and the itemization.
Find your state’s deadline first
Security-deposit law is set by your state, and the return deadline is the hinge. Many states use 30 days from move-out; some are shorter or longer, and some require the itemized statement even faster. Look up your state’s security-deposit statute (search “[your state] security deposit return law”) and mark the exact date your deposit was due. That single date is often the whole case.
What Hudson Homes’ own guide says
Hudson Homes’ published move-out guide states an itemized Move-Out Statement will be provided “within 30 days of move out, or per state requirements,” and that refunds are mailed as a paper check to the forwarding address you provided at move-out. That means two things matter enormously: submit a forwarding address in writing, and hold them to the 30-day (or state) clock. If they blow the deadline, that is leverage.
How to push back
Send a written demand referencing your state’s deadline and the exact amount owed — keep a copy. Small-claims court exists precisely for this and usually doesn’t require a lawyer; deposit cases are among the most winnable. If your state allows multiple damages for a wrongful withholding, say so in your demand. And check whether a free legal-aid clinic in your area handles deposit disputes — many do.
