Yeah, I gave the guy a full month's notice, he kept two weeks rent in addition to the deposit. Before I left we set up an agreement where he would send me the deposit to my permanent address. It's not like I split in the middle of the night, he helped me pack my shit.
A couple of times landlords have been slow to give a deposit back, but this was new to me, where they just straight up ignore my calls and texts. As pointed out above, generally the housing laws are fairly iron-clad, but I guess he figures the courts in Michigan have better things to do than to chase his deadbeat ass down.
Serves me right for not burning the place down when I left, I guess.
