My 2 roommates signed a lease and paid our security deposit when I was overseas. When I returned, I paid them back for my portion of the deposit and moved in, paying rent every month. I have moved out because one of my roommates has been stalking and harassing me, and my doctor advised me to move to a stress-free environment. A new person is already in, and I feel I should get my deposit back because this new person should pay a deposit. (Who is profitting from this?) My stalker roommate won't speak to me about it, and the landlady said moving out violated the lease. However, I did not sign the lease! I just want my money back since I left the room in mint condition and the new person has moved in. I was in a situation where I took over someone's lease and I paid her my deposit when she moved out. I feel I should receive the same respect. (I am dealing with the same roommate). Help!
