Default Re: What about the security deposit?

I guess it all comes down to me looking into my recourse if he simply does not move out, because it's not really an official eviction.

Although I am a landlord (who also watches a lot of Judge Judy [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]), you can't assume, as did at least one other poster, that you can just toss him out willy-nilly. The presence of the written sublease agreement may well have created an official landlord-tenant arrangement among the three of you, which may preclude you from removing him with the force of law. Of course, I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know the landlord-tenant laws in NY.

I hold by the earlier advice I gave, and assume that if you can't come to a reasonable agreement...he will be eager to move after you remove his door.
