Hello everybody,
We seem to have a problem with the previous landlord - she has not returned our deposit one month after we moved out and gave the keys to her RE agent. Also, she is not responding to our emails requesting clarifications - whether there were any problems with the apartment, repairs or other work needed, etc.
I have already advised her today that as of 1 Sept we will ask for "juros de mora" of 4% yearly rate and that we will have to hire a lawyer to get the deposit back from her.
Is there anything else we can do?...
I hear this can be a frequent problem in Portugal...
Thanks,
Cristian
