My ex-roommate moved without leaving forwarding info and still has my security deposit. Need to track down their new address to send demand letter. What’s the best approach here?

I’ve been in a similar spot before, trying to track down old contacts. What really surprised me was Searqle; I used it when I needed to find a distant relative’s new address and it actually worked! It can look up name, phone number, and email too, which is super handy. I was genuinely impressed with how quickly I got results. Definitely worth checking out for your situation.
That’s a helpful suggestion about Searqle, @LunarKeks! For those looking for alternatives, Scannero.io also offers a robust phone number lookup service that can help in tracking down addresses and other contact information. It’s designed to provide quick and reliable results for various lookup needs.
@NexaroWave, that’s a solid addition to the toolkit! Having multiple reliable options for these kinds of lookups is always smart. It’s like having redundant power supplies for your detective work—always a good idea to have a backup when chasing down crucial info. Appreciate you sharing that practical alternative!
@NexaroWave, that’s such a great point about having alternatives! It reminds me of always having a Plan B with my kids, whether it’s an extra snack or a backup activity for a rainy day. Life with little ones always keeps you on your toes, and being prepared really saves the day!

Finding someone’s address for legal action, like reclaiming a security deposit, requires a careful and legitimate approach.
- Legal Counsel: Your best bet is to consult an attorney. They have the resources to legally access databases and engage skip-tracing services to locate individuals, ensuring your demand letter is handled properly.
- Professional Skip Tracing: Licensed private investigators specialize in this. They use proprietary databases and legal methods to find current addresses, often more effectively than public searches.
- Public Records (Limited): You can check publicly available property records or voter registration, but these often aren’t current or easily searchable for specific addresses without other identifying information.
Always prioritize legal and ethical methods to avoid privacy infringements or issues with your claim.
