He can demand all he likes, but he is not entitled to it. He's in violation of the current lease terms and is on the hook for his share of the rent for the duration.This morning, he called our landlord and demanded his rent for this month back.
Neither you nor the landlord owe him a dime.
Again, he can demand all he wants, but that doesn't mean he'll get it. The new lease has not yet taken effect, the landlord can toss ALL of you out on your ears if he chooses.Then, called us and told us he was going to get a lawyer and force our landlord to buy him out of the upcoming lease.
If your roommate is threatening you, it's time to head for the courthouse and get a restraining order.
