My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: New York
My ex roommate told me via text that I would not be getting my security deposit back because I left her bed in my room. When I moved in she said I could use her bed until it was time to move out. The unfortunate thing is that I didn't sign a lease...nothing was formally written down about me moving in. When I moved in I sent my deposit to the previous roommate.
We parted on bad terms which is why I think she is doing this. What can I do? She has decided to keep $700 because now the bed was "my responsibility". Is there anything I can do or does she just get to keep the money?
