Might just be an issue for small claims court. If it’s under 1.5k it’s not going to be worth it to go through a lawyer.

Well over that. Basically 1/2 of two years of rent.

NJ small claims court allows for claims of up to $5000. If that option is available to you it will be much easier than retaining a lawyer and going after your landlord. If the amount is over 5k, good luck because it’s going to be a long and costly legal battle.
