Hi...
My situation is this: I am in a lease with a roomate and, for personal reasons, will be moving out. I presented this to my landlord who was very receptive and helpful, at first. We found a suitable candidate to replace me, and there will be no loss of rent paid to my landlord (nor any damages) - however, she believes that I am "breaking the lease", thus am not entitled to the security deposit. I realize I am leaving the lease early, but since she will not lose rent for any month, is it possible for her to keep the deposit, and make money off of the property? Any advice would be helpful, up to and including any contacts who might be able to help me in this situation. Thanks everyone!
