Q: One of my roommates wanted to move in a male i didnt know I'm a female & felt uncomfortable. Can the landlord allow?
I moved in with two other female roommates in May of this year. In June the two got into a domestic fight where the cops were called and a report was written. One of the roommates turned in a 30-day written notice to terminate the lease. The rental company HomeWorxs told us we would have to find another tenant to take over her lease or be responsible for her portion. The cost of the house was $1595/mo. The other female roommate was wanting to move in a male I did not know and said he had applied to take over her lease. I felt uncomfortable of thinking I'd have to live with a male I did not know and called the landlord, who said if he passes there was nothing that could be done. Can she legally guilt me into staying? I had thought about it and for my safety decided to turn in my 30-day notice, requesting my return of deposit via certified mail. In Oct. I get an email saying we owe $4775.98 for the house. She said she would take us to collections if not collected. Can she do this?
