I 'm in the process of buying my own home but want to know if I have any refund rights since I've honored the lease by paying my rent on time and he hasn't been paying his mortgage. Can he evict me ASAP? We're not on a lease now and I need my rent money to cover expenses with purchasing my new home, etc. I gave him 2 months security deposit, plan on moving the end of this month (March 2010) and don't expect the extra month refunded to me.

The other girl was a friend of the landlords family. She moved out before the lease expired, so the landlord deducted all additional charges from my daughters half of the deposit. Her landlord charged her for lightbulbs, a smoke detector, and for carpet cleaning. We had the carpets professionally cleaned because she agreed to do that in the pet addendum, but he said it was never done, even though we have the bill and cancelled check. Any advice on what the law states on this, as we are suing him in small claims court. My daughter moved out of a house she shared with another girl.
