Yeah. It's hard to explain the lease situation. He originally lived in the same building as me, a year ago my previous roommate moved out and I asked him if he wanted to move in.
Anyways after I found out he was leaving I went and talked to the building manager (we live in an apartment that does month-month leases) to find out how he is able to leave without giving notice. He is informed me that this roommate NEVER signed onto my lease or payed a damage deposit. When he moved into my unit he was given his deposit back and never had to sign any papers. This was shocking to me because when he moved in here I asked the OTHER building manager (we have two of them) about the lease and she told me they did all the paper work.
So basically the guy was in here the entire time as an occupant NOT a tenant. So this is why he is basically able to move out at a moments notice and stick me with the rent and utilities. Which is what I figured he was doing. As he thought I was at work and I overheard him on the phone. And ya maybe I am being an ####### here but so this guy is being a bigger one. So basically there is no damage deposit to take from him.
edit-
And as an occupant he has the right to nothing.
