Security Deposit Being Withheld.?

I moved out May 31st, 2006. I paid a security deposit of $350 plus another cat deposit of $200. I paid with cashier's checks most of the summer and that is how I paid for my pet deposit. So basically my deposits equal $550 total. I lived there through my entire contract and did not leave earlier or break the contract.

Now it is August 23rd and I have not received a security deposit yet. I gave them my new address the day I moved out the same time I gave them the keys to my apartment back.

I contacted them two weeks ago wondering why I haven't gotten my money back. Their first response is that ';maybe it got lost in the mail, call me tomorrow. Those checks should've been issued to you all ready.';

Days pass, call back and they go, ';Well we want proof of your cat deposit now and your place was dirty when you left.';

It seems like they keep putting off giving me my money back. I read in MN landlords should return deposits or a letter in 3 weeks. Now what do I do??
