I'm not quite sure why you've come back to CD and changed up who you are in this story, but it sounds like you've worked things out and are ready to go to court.
Go to court. But I will say that in my past as a sub-letting renter in a co-leased apartment, I paid my security deposit to the renter who was leaving, and got mine back from the one who took my spot. Land-lord didn't have anything to do with it.
Breaking news.
Last night the attorney/co-tenant texted my mother and now claims he was more or less acting as an agent for the Co-tenant who left and HE (the vacated co-tenant) was reassigning his co-tenancy to my daughter, therefore she is on the lease.
The original lease clearly states NO sublet or reassigning or advertizing without the written permission of the landlord.
In CA you can not "reassign" or sublet if the lease clearly states you can't, which it does.
So in his wisdom he attorney/co-tenant "as an agent for the the vacated co-tenant is not responsible for anything.
So let me think about this....He (attorney co-tenant) knowingly enters his vacated roommate into an agreement that he knows will break his lease
because it is strictly forbidden by the lease.
What is even more remarkable is, he doesn't see his statement: "that you will be "on the lease" and a hard copy amended lease will be returned to you." (i.e. amended by the landlord)." (a promise he has no intention of ever keeping) as an enticement to enter into an illegal (reassigned) sublet as fraud or deception.
I just don't get it?
