I was renting an apartment with a roommate. I moved out of the property (roommate stayed) giving the landlord written notice that I was moving and the security deposit should remain on the current account. This letter was accepted and I thought all was well and finished, however, I recently was notified that I am still being held responsible for the account there at the property because my roommate didn’t give written notice that she was aware that I moved out and she agreed to have the deposit remain on her account. Is the legal?

Add’l note: We were on a month to month lease which required only to give 60 day written notice and this is what I did.

I recently signed a 12-month lease in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is located in Orleans Parish. Upon moving in, I learned that the house is for sale. If the house sells, is my lease is void? Is there a way to get out of the lease if the house sells?
Correction: is my lease void?

For my home network, I’m thinking about moving vacation photos to a RAID system.

What’s the cheapest way to implement RAID level 1 storage? Netgear SC101 box?

I recenlty inherited the home where I have been living all my life and taking care of an elderly relative, I don’t have to pay rent, but I do have to pay all the other expenses: insurance, water, sewer, trash, etc. Problem is, the neighborhood is run-down, and has gotten bad,. In fact there was a huge fight of about 15 people a few doors down TODAY. Also, someone got shot as a result of a huge brawl , down the street just a few months ago. Cars race through here on a regular basis, radios thumping and blaring. I am absolutely sick of it and am ready to move. I can get small apartment for about 1-200.00 month more than I am already paying in monthly expenses
( insurance, water, sewer, etc). A couple of my friends think I should stay cause I have ” free rent” and property ownership, but, I value my safety, and I don’t feel safe in this neighborhood at all, and am longing for a quiet area without all the radios thumping and gunfire. . What’s your opinion? Thanks!
I am so fed up with this area, and since the housing market is in a slump, I am thinking about just calling one of those real estate investor companies to possibly purchase ( even at a loss) it just so I can get away from here. Opinions please. Thanks!
