Residential Leases
I moved into a house with two other people. All three of us signed a lease for a year, one of the roommates moved out early. We haven’t found a replacement. What kind of legal action we can take to obtain her part of the rent until we have a new roommate?

We also let her borrow money to move in (first months and security deposit). She has not paid us back for that either. There was no written agreement for that, just verbal. What action should we take for that as well?

Landlord removal of Landscaping
I have a one year residential lease of a single family home with the option to renew for another year.My Landlord in the sixth month of the lease, without timely notice removed two large shade trees from the property. This action prompted the city to find him in violation of the local code. He was ordered to replace the trees, however these trees were on the southern part of the house and provided shade to the property.There is now two big unsoded holes in the lawn at front and back.Coming home now is like coming home to an eyesore.
The replacement trees will not provide such shade for several years. This has resuled in higher power bills and a substantial change in the appearance of the property both front and lakeside in contrast to the time the lease was signed.
Is my landlord liable for the difference in my power bill and can I receive a rent deduction for the lost of landscaping.
