Can a landlord charge a tenant the cost of a cancelled security deposit check? My least ended 5/31. My landlord sent out the security deposit 6/29. I never received the deposit, and asked repeatedly that it be re-sent. She agreed to cancel the check and re-send 7/13. I gave her my address, and today a letter sent 7/15 arrived containing the deposit less the cost of cancelling the previous check. I was supposed to get the deposit within 30 days. Do I have any recourse here on recovering this?

The superintendent of my building has been dragging her feet for months on getting the building's washer and dryers repaired. In my lease, it says that the landlord is responsible for the upkeep of these items. The management company that actually owns the building and pays the super's salary is also not being responsive. Now what? [more inside]
