I guess most of the potential ideas have been suggested but I think that some of them will get you nowhere as, at the end of the day, you're going to find yourself out of this apartment whether you like it or not.
1/ Speak to your agent if you have one. Get them to help you find a new place free of charge. If they refuse, get the name of the GD, print it here along with his/her name and email address.....and see how much people power will help. 2/ If you haven't got an agent, don't try threatening with tax police etc yourself. Just say that your lawyer or chief accountant from work is married to a tax inspector and suggests you give the information.....but that you don't want to do that because you're a friendly person and you don't like putting people in prison!! You're looking to get your deposit back and a "friendly" exit from the apartment. Hope this helps and please let us know how you get on.

What you can tell the landlady that if she does not respect the contract, you will report her into the local tax office. Just tell her that you will send the office a copy of your rental contract (I hope that you and she signed the one). The tax people in Moscow do react to such reports, and usually call landladies to urge them to submit tax declarations, or face a fine. You will need to indicate her address - where she lives - and her home phone number. The list of inspections in each okrug is here: http://www.r77.nalog.ru/str.php?topic=imns77 You may need to call one of them in the okrug where the landlady lives, give them her street and they will tell you which office handles the area. However, the first point to contact is the agency which you used. I hope this is not Inkom!
