My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: North Carolina.
So, my roommate won't let me leave. Although I did promise her to find someone, she always finds something wrong with that person. I have had several people that have wanted the apartment but she continues to turn them down. She acts very hostile around me, she avoids the subject and she is not making any effort whatsoever to find someone else. Also, she does not want to pay me for a washer and dryer we split but she wants to keep, or other appliances we split in half.
I found her randomly and we have only lived together for 3 months. I need to know what steps I can take to be released from that lease. She has always tried to argue with me and I am afraid she will do something against me. Therefore, I had to put a key lock so I can lock my room. I am afraid she has bipolar disorder.
Thanks,
Vanessa
PS: I will be happy to provide you with more details, if necessary.
