I asked her not to do it anymore and she went LOCO!!!!!! I am affraid of my saftey at this point. I found a new place that I would move in in two weeks.
My question...
The deposit is less than a months rent and I am not on the lease. Legally If they can get another tenant will i get my deposit back & if they don't am i responcible for the entire months rent?

Your situation highlights the potential and actual unpleasant issues involved with roommate situations. Unfortunately, for many, many, there is no alternative if they wish to live in the Big Apple.
Since you're not on the lease, it seems that your deposit is in jeopardy. Of course, oral contracts are enforceable but proving that there was one and trying to enforce it would cost more in time, aggravation, money than the value of the referenced deposit.
