Damage Deposit
I tried a google search, but can't find anything about Alberta law specifically.
I'm in an apartment that I moved into. When I moved in my roommate was already living in the apartment for a few months. So the DD was already paid in full to the landlord. When I moved in I agreed and gave my portion to my roommate.
My roommate is now moving out (I'm staying), and is asking for their portion of the damage deposit from me. Obviously I don't have that money, the landlord does. I don't see the landlord giving the money, because in their eyes the DD if based on the place, not the amount of people occupying the place.
I know I'll get the full DD when I move out, but at this time there is no way I have the money to give her.
Also the landlord charges ~$100 out of the DD for carpet cleaning when people move out and the apartment becomes vacant.
Does anyone know the laws regarding this?
