I "subleased" an apartment from this guy that turned out to be a freak. Our "sublease" agreement states "This sublease is contingent on original lease." Well his original lease a TAA Lease, states that there is no subleasing and if you want to change tenants you have to get written permission from the office.
I ended up moving out in December. I did no pay December rent because he continually took the cash I gave him and paid rent 2-3 weeks late every month. In our "sublease" agreement there was an agree upon $600 security deposit which he listed a bed, couch, TV as items included in the apartment.
I moved out because he would randomly show up and tell me stories about all the young girls he would hook up with, his creepy friends that would be roofies over to the apartment, etc. He made me and my girlfriend feel very uncomfortable. When I moved out I helped him clean the entire apartment. I broke the TV so I let him keep the $600. I then paid $50 for a chair and he let me keep the other furniture because he had nowhere to keep it. The movers will testify he helped load the furniture with me as well.
I got a letter and a phone call about a court summons this past week and he is claiming over 5k! He says I didn't pay November rent, stole numerous items from the apartment, back due on bills, charges he received for not getting the carpets cleaned etc.
Does anyone have any advice besides get an attorney?
