I had posted a thread a few weeks ago in regards to my situation and it appears my landlord really screwed me.
So I went to court last week and when I exchanged evidence with my former landlord, she gave me an addendum to my lease that added two roomates onto my lease and removed me, however I never signed this paper and it was the first time I had seen this letter. I was under the impression that a completely new lease had been signed by the roommates since they were going to be taking over the house on their own. The judge didn't seem to care that I hadn't signed the letter. My lease that had expired and went on to a month to month agreement when this took place.
So at court the judge treated my like I was some criminal and needless to say I did not recoup my security deposit and was charged for the damage done by the people who lived there after I left. The judge woudl not even look at all of my evidence. So my question is, did the judge follow the law? Can the roomates be legally added if I never signed the addendum adding them to my lease, and if not, can I get my deposit back? Thanks for any feed back I am really confused at this point.
