I have a friend who was working with a nursing travel company. The company was taking money out of her account for rent. She decided to leave from her contract early by five week for personnel reasons. She left the apartment on the 31st of July but when she returned home she found that the travel company had taken another months rent out of her checking account. She had a room mate that was living with her and was also leaving that night but when she discovered that the rent had been taken out she call her room mate and told her it was fine to stay there because the rent had been paid for the month. On the third of August the managers came over and told her room mate she had to move out of sign a new lease because the travel company asked for the money back. The room mate signed a new lease and now lives there on her own income. The problem is that my friend did not get the money for the rent returned to her. When she called the company they said they would look in to it but had a rude and uninterested tone about the issue. After talking to other nurse who had lived in the apartment through this company she found that they often continue to take money out of peoples accounts after they leave and do not return the money. The amount is about 1300 and if that money was not used for the rent of the apartment then where did it go and would it be returnable if they refuse to re credit my friends account?
 
I do not know what her contract says but if she is no longer working there and the company is not receiving the money for the rent it seems like they should return her money. If she had a lease then the money should go to the apartment but that is not the case.
 
The terms are defined by the contract. She needs to read her contract regarding her rent when she quits before the contract is up.
 
Even if there was something about rent in her contract they did not use the money for rent. How would that work?
 
Doesn't make any difference. If the contract requires payment of the rent through XX, based on resignation date plus XX, then the contract would prevail.

She can confer with local counsel if she is so inclined.
