I went into an agreement to rent a home with a good friend. We went on a Saturday scrambling to beat the deadline of his apartment's last day the next day. He arranged for a cashier's check of 1345 rent plus +1000 deposit.. le 1345+1345 cashiers check .
Both of us scramble to get into the lease meeting and both get fair share of lease. We start moving Saturday, the next day Sunday I have feeling something is wrong, the new roommate won't tell, I call the landlord and find out: He tells me that my roomie says I have issues with the house and wants to terminate the lease after one day, so he is leaving. My roomie moves out after one day, with telling me a thing, The landlord ask me to leave also, and I plead with him to let me stay and keep the rent going. He asks me to leave by 5PM, two hours notice to pack up and leave. So I abide by his wishes, barely making the deadline.
Now I get a request from the roomie to fax a signature sheet that I also wanted to terminate the lease along with him, because it's the only way the landlord will give back the deposit and I get my 800 dollars back. I argue I didn't want to terminate the lease and I want my $800 now since 24 hours after I gave it to my roomie, I was kicked out.
So, now I need to know, do I have to fax that sheet saying I wanted to terminate to be able to get my $800 back in thirty days, that my roomie will control. Do I have to trust him to give it to me.
What happens if I don't agree and ask the landlord to give me my portion. And isn't this an illegal termination if I don't agree with termination. My roomie also has control of two expense checks from work in his mailbox and won't let me come over anymore for some reason, I was living there for a month, paying half rent waiting for this home, when I was kicked out, he left me cold and no where to live, I slept in the car until my mother could bail me out with money because the 800 was my last money and he has 250 of checks he is holding until I sign and fax this paper. Any one help me????????
Should I sign and wait, or deadline and sue?
