    Like, for example, what state you are in, what was discussed, whether there was any discussion of a deposit, whether you have a written lease, etc.

    It may be legal, it may be illegal. It depends on your location, your lease status, how much notice you gave, etc. All details you neglected to include.

    And please don't type in all caps.
