I currently live in a home with three other roommates. Things aren't going well. The landlord has let one roommare out of the lease. This roommate doesn't have to pay May rent (our last month), and is going to move out two weeks early (Mid-may) in exchange the landlord is just keeping her security deposit ($200). Does the landlord have to provide the same deal equally to me and the other roommates. She is basically letting the fourth roommate off free and the remaining of us (who want to move out early too) having to pay full rent which is $1350. We all have separate, identical leases.

If you all have separate leases your rent payment should not be a total sum. It should be separate payments.

If you gave your own lease I don't see why you can't negotiate your own notice to vacate deal

Thanks for the response. You're right, we each pay $450 separately. But my biggest question was if she can give the fourth roommate the deal, and then deny the other three of us the same deal.

Thanks again.

Because landlords are not required to treat all tenants the same. If you were all on the same lease, it would be a different story.

Because there is no law that says she can't.

She can let one roommate live there for $1 a month and give them free tacos every Wednesday, while charging every other roommate full market rate if she wants.
