Whether you are entitled to the return of your deposit depends upon the agreement pursuant to which the payment was made. You should consider sitting down with a local attorney to review that agreement.
He's gone through phones without permission, he attacked someone in my house hold, and then just completely quit his job. He causes so many problems and most of us are scared of him. The problem is we don't have the money to move out right now. And I can't figure out how to legally... Read more »
