I moved into an apartment around oct.-nov. with two other roommates. Both of the roommates bailed on me leaving me alone in a 3 bedroom apartment. My landlord instead of legal actions decided to let the other two get out of their lease for $800. I could not afford to do that simply because I needed to live there in order to get to schoool. About a 2 months later he tells me that he wants to get 2 new tenants to fill the 2 empty rooms. The first tenant to move in seemed like a nice guy. Shortly after a new tenant moved in who also seemed like a nice guy. Tenant number one turned out to be a rager and parties every weekend, leaving the apartment trashed. He did not clean up after parties, most of the time i would leave the trash around for a few days and then when it became unbearable i would clean it up, this would continue after every weekend. The second, roommate is very polite, considerate, except,he does serious drugs and has friends over who also do drugs. Not something I'm too bothered by but just the fact that those drugs are inside me apartment bothered me. Close to the end of the year I became disgusted with cleaning up after people so every weekend I would commute home and sleep at my parents house. Every week I return to my apartment it would look more and more digusting, cleaning looked impossible. Now, its the end of the year and I refuse to pay my last months rent, the land lord has my deposit. I never signed any lease binding me to these two new roommates. So does this mean that i cannot be held accountable for the mess that they have made? Also does this also mean that my previous lease signed with my old roommates is void? What would you guys do? Also, is it a bad idea not to pay my last month's rent because I heard my land lord could take legal actions, and I also heard that they usually win.

I wish that I found this site before I rented a apartment.......
