Here is the math... ( I goto small claims a lot. Always win, hardly ever collect... tenants...sigh)
Getting a lawyer will run $2000-3000 to start. $10k if it goes beyond small claims, easy.
Find out what your small claims limit is and sue up to that limit on your own. IE. If its 5 grand, sue for 2 months of payments to be returned. Then pending that case, assuming you win, sue for the next 2 months, and so, and so on. If you lose the first case, you can still sue for the next several time sand get a lawyer next time.
This way, if you win the first case, you would think that by default they pay you the rest.
Also, read your contract... and verbiage about requires arbitration?
