Default Re: Ask DrewDevil your legal questions

Hey DrewDevil, you're quite awesome for making this thread

So I was planning on living with two guys, lets name them A and B. The deposit for this place is 1000, so we split it 3 ways.

We all paid the deposit, but only Person A and I signed the deposit slip. We never made any contracts with each other FYI

Both A and B bailed out on me and did not help me find new roommates. I eventually found new roommates over the summer, signed the lease with the new roomates (3 new ones) and took 250 from each of them.

I assumed that because A and B bailed out, I got to keep their 666.66 dollars.

So now Person A comes up to me asking for the deposit back.

Do I legally have to give it back without ever signing or saying that I would? If I were taken to small claims court, would I hold up knowing he had no proof I had to pay him back?

What about person B? He hasn't even talked to me since bailing


Thanks in advance
