[quote=schoepeo;13522289]Thanks for the thoughts so far. I knew it was going to be long winded which is why I apologized first thing. The questions at the bottom are the most relevant.

You are over-complicating things with pettiness. You will lose this. Stick to who dates, deposits, withdrawls, period.
Did the landlord write out a summary of charges he dinged against your deposit?
The charges against the deposit should be:
Roomie A-Rent plus the late fee since she never removed her stuff from the place nor cleaned. 1/3 of the damages incurred.
Roomie B and C-1/3 each of the damage
I would take the check back to the landlord and present him with your charges/breakdown and ask him to write out three checks. If he doesn't, then you two will take him to court and sue him. He needs to grow a pair and write it out correctly. He knows the rent wasn't paid to him and 1/3 of charges is decent.
