Question

How long does a landlord have to take you to court after you move?

Answer 1

I would like details because, depending on them, he may have waived his right to sue, but I'd wager he had at least 2 or 3 years. Though the longer he waits the weaker his case becomes.

Answer 2

This site has the statue of limitations for Small Claims. The statute of limitations may depend on whether you had a written lease, oral month to month tenancy or if there was property damage.
