You should check the laws for your state. Some states have laws that say if he landlord doesn't forward you security deposit within 30 days, they are responsible for paying you 2x the amount.

Also, I think the 15 days you mentioned only comes into play if the tenant is able to break the lease in extreme conditions  - but this might be different in your state.
