We entered into a verbal agreement with a landlord for one year. My roomate did the same. Now she moved out knowing that we would have to move and now loose the deposit of $500.00 Can we hold her liable for the remainder of the rent owed of 7 months? She still owes my other roomate for her share of the deposit we all put down at the begining. How do we handle this as we do not want to move but can not afford the full rent now either and because of her we will loose the deposit. Can the land lord keep our deposit on a verbal agreement?
