Hello all.
An ex-boyfriend of mine and I rented an apartment in SC. The security deposit was in "his name", even though I paid for half of it. After 3 months, we split up, and he moved to Seattle. I stayed for another 3 years or so.
Now, I have moved back to Buffalo, NY... and my ex-landlord has given me the security deposit back-no problem there. The problem is that my ex-boyfriend wants this money. What are my options? Since he left, and left me with the entire rent, shouldn't I be allowed to keep all of the deposit/ He basically abandoned me!
Thanks
Anna
