Last Friday, my roommate notified me by email while I was away for work that he signed a lease for a new place and would be moving out August 1. Aside from the general sh*ttyness of this, that gave me less than a week to find someone new.
We both signed the original lease in March, for one year. I think I have someone lined up, but want to cover all my bases. What should I tell the landlord management company? If I don't find someone on the first, is he still liable for rent?
Also, what should I do about the security deposit? We both put in the same amount, half of the total? Would he not be able to get it back technically anyway until the lease is up?
