My boyfriend and I rented our extra room to a subletter with no contract (bad choice, I know). We do have an email with terms he agreed to.
Late night on May 2 he gave less than 30 days notice (against what he agreed in the email). I called this out and there have been many emails and texts going back and forth.
He is claimed that he is uncomfortable with the situation and moved just about all of his belongings (including furniture and all his clothing)... all without telling us. After leaving texts, notes and calls about showing the room and seeing where he was, we assumed he abandoned the room. We cleaned the room to make it presentable to show for a replacement roommate.
After sending an email and text about showing the room, he accused us of breaking and entering, claiming his room was locked. It was not locked plus we have always had access to the room because the internet modem is there and he gave us access to reset it if it was problematic.
He is also accusing us of harassment and threatened to take legal action if we contacted him again, hence we have no way to clarify anything or come to a solution.
We've had problems with him bringing many visitors and once of his texts suggested he had people in the apartment since he left to check that the door was locked. We told him that we changed the lock and he would need to contact us for access/keys. He is accusing us of denying him access by changing the lock and wants us to refund his money for half month's rent but he wants to move the remainder of his stuff (nothing really- we thought it was trash he abandoned) at the end of the month.
Sounds like he is not even in NYC to pick up a set of keys or wanted to set us up by making it appear like he abandoned the room.
Sorry for the long-winded description. Please advise with any suggestions. I can always provide more information as needed. thanks so much!
