Return of Security Deposit. Do I have to file in the county where the property is located or the county in which the landlord lives?

Selected Answer: 

First check the lease to see

First check the lease to see if there is any language that states where (what county) a claim should be filed in. If there is no language in the lease, usually complaints related to real property should be filed in the county in which the property is located.
