My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Washington
In September 2014, my husband and I entered a month-to-month agreement with our landlord and paid the full security deposit. A few months later, we got a roommate. He signed his own agreement and paid his own deposit. We moved out in June of 2015. The landlord said that we cannot receive our deposit back until the unit is vacated, even though the roommate has no intention of leaving and has found a new roommate to replace us (who has signed his own agreement and paid his own deposit as well). Is this legal? I don't want to pursue action if they are within their rights, but it sounds shady to me.
