We were hunting for apartment to rent together but she did not have roommate and we had difference in move-in date, as I still had 1 month left in my old place. The LL did not care as long as he was going to get check from one of us, we did not have background check or anything, just simply a generic lease form he obtained from the Internet and filled in by handwriting. Honestly, I did not think if if that was going to be a problem but in the end before I handed her my own security deposit I drafted roommate agreement to at least have something in writing she agreed for me to move one month later and not just rely on my word against her.
But I have good news. I finally have received from her today electronic transfer to my Paypal account on Splitwise.
last month was last month technically in November, so actually we do not own rent since deposit was equal to 1 month of rent and he applied it instead of cashing last month check. But I agree technically, it was sloppy procedure.
