Question

I recieved a check from my landlord returning the pet deposit but he claims there are other damages and didn't return my rent security deposit. If I cash the pet deposit is that agreement to his terms??

Answer

No, not necessarily if you include a reservation of your

claims under your endorsement on the back of this check.
