Renting with roommates can be tough, especially when they bail out on you. The only real way to get out of a lease without penalty is by showing that your landlord is in breach of the contract. If your landlord somehow breached the contract you will be able to end the agreement early without penalty.

The only reason your landlord would want more deposit would be if he refunded your roommates deposit… I hardly doubt he did that! It sounds like your roommate left you high and dry which would mean that he breached his agreement and may not be entitled to any of the deposit back.

Tell your landlord that the original deposit is still enact and that the agreement has not been breached by you, so he has no right to continue to harras you. If your landlord continues to harras you, you will probably need to file a complaint with the RPA. There should be a link above to file complaint.

Good Luck!

If you can prove the landlord entered your rental when you were gone they the landlord are in breach of the lease.
The only reason a landlord can enter the rental is as stated in the lease ; one is for emergency – like water leak, etc.
