Reply to comment by Charlesinrichmond in Asking for Landlord advice with Tenant discrimination / co-tenant co-sign laws by jibbiriffs

the issue is that i want the liability split with the other room mate. Not just all on myself. The liability that a roommate will be obligated to pay.

Also with the security deposit, the former roommate is getting theirs back so, i would need to get a security deposit from the new person to give to the landlord. Shouldn't that be written down so my new roomie gets the deposit back, for more assurance?

You can do your own lease with your roommate if you want to protect yourself with that

The landlord probably shouldn't be giving the old roommate rhe deposit back until you move out. This is the exact shit landlords do that gets them in hot water. Fairly certain that's a violation of escrow law. But yes you are right this stuff should be documented in the lease.
