    Angry Ex-Roommate Is Keeping My Money, in New York

    Hi
    I lived with 2 roommates from January 2007 to June 2007. We have paid 1800 for security deposit (600 each) in the beginning and our lease ended at the end of June.
    One roommate and I gave our portions of rent to the other roommate because he lived close the landlord. I paid him my portion of rent every month including June.
    When I asked the landlord for my portion of security deposit, I heard that she never received any rent for June, thus deducting June's rent from the deposit and can't give me any money.
    So basically he took my money for rent but he didn't pay the rent.
    First time I called him he answered and said that he will make everything clear. Afterwards, he is avoiding my calls and I can't get a hold of him.
    I do know where he lives though.
    Is there anything I can do to get my money back?
