To preface I and my former roommate are not American citizens. We were working in upstate NY. Our lease was renewed in January. However on Jan 3rd I had some visa issues and had to leave the country, it was supposed to be a quick fix but it’s taking longer than usual. I spoke about this to my landlord and he agreed to terminate my lease after 60 days notice, which is March 31st. He told me I don’t have to pay for March, Since it’s a visa issue (I thought he was being super nice). He later on said he’ll use my deposit as March rent. I let it go. In March he expressed interest to buy my car, my roommate also left the apartment on March 28th, and gave my car papers to him, including the keys. I have asked him multiple times to send me pictures of my title and registration papers. He is not doing so. On April 20th he told me he is not interested in buying my car and now I have to pay him 50$/day since April 1st (it’s not in the lease, he never mentioned it Infact up until April 20th he told me he’s interested in buying the car). He said he’ll buy my car if I sell it for 500$. Obviously I won’t do that. That’s insane for a car. He knows I am not in the country so he’s bullying me. He’s also refused my roommate her deposit. In fact he’s asking for 1300$ more. He agreed to terminating the lease, he asked her to leave before March 28th all though she paid for the entire month of March. He’s saying he had to repair some floors but he’s not giving any proof of damage. Lastly he sent this email regarding deposit or what not on March 20th which is 22 days after she vacated the apartment.
