Renter/Roommate Apartment Deposit
Upon signing a one year lease with my
roommate, a double deposit was made on
behalf both my roommate and I for the
amount of 1,450 (each). Our one year lease
has expired on April 1st and we our currently
on a month-month. I have decided to move
out and in doing so I gave my roommate and
leasing manager a 30-day notice with my
move out day of Jul 5th. My roommate has
decided to stay but refuses to give me my
deposit back. My leasing manager said he
would be the one to have to write me a
check in the amount of 1,450 if he's not
moving out yet. But, my roommate refuses
to do so. He says I'm liable to find him a new
roommate and he doesn't have the money to
give to me nor does he think he's responsible
to do so. If I were to take him to small claims
court, would I win my case?
