My question involves a roommate in the State of: New York
Hi,
I have a roommate who moved in about 4 months ago. He was required to send his security deposit (it's written in the lease) to the landlord when he moved in, and assured me that he did. It turns out he didn't.
We just got a letter in the mail from the landlord saying that they needed it. He refuses to pay it because it's been so long already.
What should I do? Can I evict because he didn't follow the rules of the lease? Any other options?
Thanks!
