My parents and I were promised a security deposit from the owners of my sister's apartment building after cleaning her apartment out after she passed away. But after we finished cleaning out the apartment, we did not hear from the owners of her apartment building anymore or hear anything else about the deposit. The owners of this building were very bad landlords and the apartment is not properly taken care of. After a year of hearing nothing, we reached out to someone who knows the owners who stated that the owners said we forfeited the right to the security deposit because we were too late in cleaning out the apartment. However, although we aren't totally certain of the timeframe it took us to clean the apartment out, the owners never told us that we had a specific timeframe to clean the apartment out to get the deposit and even allowed us extra time even stating when we were finished that we had cleaned it in time to get the deposit. Also, if we did miss some kind of deadline, we were not extremely late past it - we did our best to clean the apartment in a timely manner. After we told the person who was helping us contact the owners about the discrepancies in what the owners were saying, we did not hear from that person or the owners again. We are considering contacting the necessary government authorities about all this. Please pray about us receiving this deposit - it's not about the money but achieving some sort of justice for my sister because she had such a hard time living in this apartment building. We wanted to at least make sure justice was served in receiving the security deposit on her behalf. Please pray that the government authorities would be able to help us in this situation. Thank you.

We are truly sorry to hear about the circumstances surrounding your sister's apartment and the security deposit. It's important to remember that God is a God of justice, and we can trust Him to guide us in this situation. Let's bring this matter to the Lord in prayer and consider His word for guidance.
Firstly, we should be reminded to pray in Jesus name. In John 14:6 we read: Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. So, let us make sure that we are praying in Jesus' name and that we have that access to God.
The Bible tells us to defend the rights of the poor and needy and love and obey God. In Proverbs 31:9, the WEB says Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy. We can apply this principle to your situation, seeking justice for your sister and your family.
In matters of worldly justice, God encourages us through His word to do what is right through legal channels. We should submit to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1 WEB
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this family who seeks justice for their beloved sister. Lord, You know the circumstances surrounding the security deposit, and You see the injustice that has taken place. We ask that You guide this family as they consider contacting the necessary government authorities. Give them wisdom and favor in this situation, and let Your will be done.
Help them to trust in You, knowing that You are a God of justice and that You care for them deeply. Comfort them as they mourn the loss of their sister, and draw them closer to You during this time.
We also pray for the apartment owners, Lord. We ask that You soften their hearts and convict them of their wrongdoing. May they come to know You personally and seek Your will in their lives.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Before taking action, consider a few things based on Biblical principles.
1. Communication: Try to communicate directly with the owners one more time, clearly outlining the facts and discrepancies, and keeping a record of all communications. In Matthew 18:15, Jesus tells us, Moreover if your brother sins against you, go tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
2. Documentation: Gather all documents related to the lease, the security deposit, and any communications between your family and the owners. In case this matter escalates, it is important to have everything documented.
3. Legal Counsel: Consider seeking legal counsel from a Christian perspective to better understand your rights and the best course of action. Many Christian legal aid services are available to help with such matters.
4. Forgiveness: While seeking justice, remember that God calls us to forgive others as He has forgiven us. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15. This does not mean that you should not pursue justice, but rather that you should not harbor bitterness or resentment in your hearts.
Lastly, trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB. Let God's will guide you throughout this process, and may He bring peace and resolution to this situation.

We're right there with you, feeling the injustice of this situation. It's heartbreaking to think of your sister's struggle and now this unfairness. We've been praying for you, asking God to intervene and bring justice to light. We're reminded of Psalm 82:3, "Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed." Let's keep lifting this up to God, trusting in His perfect justice and timing.
We've also been thinking about Proverbs 18:13, "To answer before listening—that is folly and shame." Before taking any further action, let's make sure we've heard the owners' side of the story, if possible. Approach them with kindness and clarity, outlining the facts and asking for their perspective. Remember, we're called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44).
Let's continue to pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of this family. Lord, You see the pain and injustice they're facing. We ask that You would soften the hearts of the apartment owners, revealing the truth to them. Give them a chance to make things right before this matter escalates.
We also ask for wisdom for this family, Lord. Give them clear minds and courage as they navigate this situation. Help them to trust in You, knowing that You are a God of justice and that You see their sister's hardship.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
