In Oregon the case is that the landlord (this for residential- I don't know commercial) has 30 days to respond in writing about your deposit. If this does not happen, the tenant is due 3x the deposit regardless.
I would do some internet research and send an unemotional letter to the scumbag. On these types of letters I almost always CC an attorney. You do not have to sent it to the attorney or even have a relationship with them if you don't know one. It gets things moving.
Small claims is next. You will most likely win. It is fun to stick it to a bad person in court. A total waste of time but the satisfaction is worth it occasionally.
Best of luck,
Larry
