hi, recently i just finish 1 year contract rent in a condo, then i need to claim back my deposit, i have all the key ,card and agreement and form.

The owner is very smart, in the agreement / One of the tenancy criteria is stated that :
You need to stay here within 1/1/2015 to 1/1/2016, less than that deposit will be forfeited, no negotiable.
so the owner use this reason to refuse the deposit to me. She claimed that I never fully stay 12 months and half way move out, which is an excuse, but i really stay there for 12 month, and pay rent every month, however most of the rental receipt i throw away and do not keep well, mean no proof of rental receipt, but have other proof.(deposit, contract and agreement, and key still with me )

Add: the owner also change the lock of the front door. and my card key become unaccessible .

so what should i do? complain to police and management ??

Updated: yes i had moved to new place to stay, right now is the 13th month and the time to claimed back deposit.

The main problem is :
He claimed that i never rent fully 12 months,
1 of the criteria is You need to stay here within 1/1/2015 to 1/1/2016, less than that deposit will be forfeited, no negotiable., the owner use this reason as an excuse,
because the owner knew i moved out early last few days on December, thus left few days empty for the room.
but i did pay monthly rent however without much rental receipt, basically lost all rental receipt, only left all agreement and key, and deposit proof.
Question: if i take police action, should be no problem right ? mean can take back my deposit right? thats is

well, pay by cash, so.... how is it ? the owner say 'go ahead and report police' lol wtf

lol owner refuse to show, therefore no proof lolz,
so....highly possible no return of deposit anymore?

zzz the above replies seem no hope on it. so one of the option is spoil the owner reputation right?

bumps.... if it is still useless, lawless way must be use in this scenario
