Hello,
I have been living in an apartment where my roommate was on the lease and I was not for the past 2.5 years. Technically I suppose I was sub-leasing from her; however we did not have any agreement in writing. My roommate recently asked me to to leave and gave me 6 weeks notice. I wound up finding a place sooner than expected and moved out early. I pro-rated my rent based on the days I was going to live there. My roommate is now deducting the rent for the days I did not live there out of my security deposit.
The two of us did not have any sublease agreement in writing; however she has cashed all of my checks over the years indicating acceptance of my tenancy. Further, my rommate also cashed my pro-rated rent check for my last month there. Does that also indicate acceptance of my early departure? As mentioned, we did not have a written agreement on terms to leave.
Do I have any rights here to get the remaining money from my security deposit?
Thanks
