    Default Forfeiture of Security Deposit

    Hi, I moved out of my apartment in CO & signed a paper with the rental office allowing someone else to take over my lease. The other person signed allowing to take over the lease. The rental office stated I would forfeit my security deposit by doing so, thus I would not receive my security deposit back from the rental office. Can I sue the person who took over my lease if they do not want to give me my security deposit? Any information would be helpful.

    What contract do you have with the person who took over the lease?

    No contract, just the paper signing over the lease. Can I ask the rental office to request the security deposit from the new renter & give me back mine or would they not go for it?

    Normally they would do either that, or refund the deposit to you at the end of the lease term.
