I've got a good one too that I may unfortunately just have to take ... I signed a lease with a roommate ... I have bad credit so I had to pay a deposit ... and she didn't! I called the office to find out when they would return the deposit to me ... they told me that it wouldn't be until she moved out. It doesn't seem fair or legal to me ... she signed a new lease with a new person. I requested to have them come and look at the place and repair any damage and do cleaning, but they still insist on not returning the money ... help??
