    Default Roommate Asked Me to Move Out

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: NY

    Roommates asked me to move out last week. Our lease is up this week, on the 31st, and they wanted me to say another month since they wanted to renew the lease and stay on, but their friend was not available to move in until May.

    I asked for my deposit back and they don't want to give it to me until someone else moves in. Since the lease is up and I am moving out, how do I handle this?

    I think the roomate is either 100% right or 100% wrong....or somewhere in between. It's really hard to tell since there are no facts on the case. Maybe someone else can mind read it for the benefit of the board...

    Send a certified letter to the LL (or whomever holds the security deposit) and demand that upon termination of lease you are moving out and expect the deposit to be present within 30 days with a detailed dedecutions list if any deductions are taken out. NY requries the LL return the security deposit with a reasonable timeframe after the end of the lease. The 30 days listed is more than reasonable and will serve as your basis in court if the deposit is not returned.

    This would be the best course of action even if the roommates are staying in the apartment and renewing the lease?
