    Default Roommate Kicked Me Out And Won't Refund My Share Of Rent

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: NJ

    I was kicked out by my roommate yesterday June 5th, 2008 and she has decided to keep my full months rent for June. On top of that she was going to force me leave at the 3rd week of June because it was convenient for her.

    Plus since I owe her $626 for utilities and food, she wants to deduct that from my $1000 security deposit and only give me back $373.

    I feel that I am entitled to more. I should get back my full $1000 deposit plus $675 in rent that I am owed for not living there. If she wants the deduct the $626 from the $675 then she can pay me a total of $1225.

    Am I off base with my thinking? If she won't settle how can I claim damages and get my money?

    She didn't give you proper notice. Does she have grounds to boot you?

    If she won't settle how can I claim damages and get my money?
    Sue her in small claims court.
