Taking a Co-Lessee off of a Rental Lease
I recently signed a one year rental lease with a friend. We are both on the lease and moved into the house together. She is upset because I am asking her to clean up after herself and not come home partying and waking me up when I have to get up early. Every time we’ve had words, she says she doesn’t want to live with me any more and threatens to call the landlord and take me off of the lease.
She said she has talked with an attorney who told her she can take me off the lease.
Now, I don’t think this is true, because we are equal co-lessees on the rental agreement.
Is there some loophole to this? Is there any way she can have me ”taken” off the lease?
Thank you.

Rental agreements
Two people enter a rental agreement for 1 year at a cost of $500 per month, each paying $250. If one person decides to move out and not pay there half, who is held repsonsible and what actions can be taken by the person who still lives at the rental place and is paying their half of the rent?

75 days after move-out, still no deposit returned
My roommate called our old landlord sometime during the month after our move-out date of 8/31/02 to inquire about our security deposit. My roommate informed me that in this call he left a forwarding address and a phone number to call in case the landlord needed more information. According to my roommate he made this call several times throughout the month of September, but never heard back from the landlord. I got upset and decided to phone the landlord myself sometime around 10/4/02. He returned my call and said that our lease stated he had 60 days to return our deposit, and that he would get it to me by then. The Ohio Revised Code says that the deposit must be returned within 30 days after termination of rental agreement, but since he says the lease stated 60 days I thought I’d wait the 60 days before contacting him again. It is now 11/14/02, 75 days after termination of our rental agreement and have not received the deposit. We have given the landlord our forwarding address and phone number. What are any legal actions I can take against this landlord, fees, penalties that I can inform him of?
