I generally won't press over the interest as it's $5 or less usually; but someone who doesn't pay you the interest probably won't give you the deposit back either, so i'll generally move on quickly if possible.

Take them to court if they don't give you the full deposit back, and don't have valid documentation backing up why anything they withhold. Small claims court is not much work, and you can easily win your money back if they didn't follow the law fully, which they almost never do. I got more back for my desposit than I gave initially, despite having to pay for a couple things (I didn't have time to clean the fridge) due to interest.
