I was in a year lease. My roommate turned out to be a freak. I gave notice to get out of the lease, she (the roommate) had friends that applied and were approved to move in, in replace of me. On Oct. 29, I turned in my keys and was giving a letter from the leasing agent that says (and I QUOTE) "Heidi has returned all keys and vacated the apartment on Oct 29, 2001. She is completely free of all responsibility regarding that apartment." Then signed by the leasing agent, on company letter head with my full name and address. Well, I found out a few days ago that my roommate never paid rent and got evicted. They did not return my $650 deposit PLUS they say I am responsible for the $1700 due. They said that I need to take my roommate to court for the money. They also put a thing on my rental record saying I was evicted, which caused me to be denied for a lease. That is the first I heard of it. They have my forwarding address and phone and no one EVER contacted me. It was taken to court and the judge ruled that I am responsible because I didn't show up, but no one ever told me I was being sued!!! Please help! I need my deposit back to pay my grad school tuition!!!
