So I moved out of my apartment that I lived in for 3 years, my roommate at the time stayed in the apartment and got a new roommate
The new roommate doesnt want to pay me a full security deposit, because it hasnt been professionally cleaned and I would have lived there 3 years and she will probably only live there a year...I totally understand this.
But the landlord refuses to get involved, which i think is ridiculus. He said he would only know how much he would give back after both parties move out.
I want my security deposit back, but dont want to screw over this new roommate. Any suggestions? Does the landlord have to pay me the security deposit since i am not on the lease anymore even though my old roommate is?
this is in California
