My landlord took a very large illegal pet deposit from me in 2022. I did not know it was illegal. I recently moved out and asked for the deposit back. She forgot the amount and when I reminded her, she immediately stated that I had to pay to have the floors refinished and that would be taken from the deposit. (So at least a couple thousand.) I have photos and I think I can prove that there is in fact no damage to the floors, but can I even file a T1 since the deposit was taken several years ago? Thanks.
