This form helps a pro-se litigant (a person representing themselves in court) to fill out a complaint for a return of their security deposit. It is important that you follow the instructions carefully and review the basic advice you would recieve from most attorneys on this type of matter. Prosecuting such a claim is normally difficult, but your chances of succeeding are that much less if you fail to follow the statutory requirements of such a claim.
This section is about the first party, also known as the Plaintiff. If there is a case already pending, please look at the header of the case file at the names of the party. (John Doe v. Jane Doe) (Plaintiff v. Defendant).

If you are filling out this form to start a complaint, you are the Plaintiff. In this type of action, the tenant (renter) is normally the Plaintiff as well. If there are multiple tenants, you must add them all under name.

This section is about the second party in the action. The second party is also known as the Respondent. In this type of proceeding, the second party is usually the landlord.

It is recommended that you contact the Property Appraiser's office for the county within which the property is located to determine that information. If there are multiple landlords, you must add them all under name.
