Question

I am a tenant and has one year lease. During the tenancy, the ownership of the hosue was changed. A new owner said she did not receive a security deposit from the previous owner. Who should I go after, the old owner or the new owner, to get the deposit back?

Answer

You are legally entitled to go after both of them and they have to sort it out between themselves who pays you.
