Flatmate is moving out. I want to stay on in the flat, but need to find a new person to rent with. Flatmate currently going apeshit because she wants me to give her her deposit now 2 weeks before she leaves and then reimburse myself off the new person at the end of the month. She needs the deposit now to put down on the new place she has found.
I've never been in a rental where I got my deposit back before moving out? Surely it doesn't work this way? I can't afford to pay her out of my own pocket easily, but AIBU?
