I live in NJ, Bergen county. My roommate and I made a written agreement that if either of us moves (we had month-to-month), the one staying in the apartment will give the person leaving half of the security deposit. I moved 2 months ago but still have not seen a penny. The reason for her refusal is that tenant's security account was opened on my name only (original lease was on my name, she was added later). LL does not want to change any paperwork whatsoever. Do I have a case?
Thanks.

My concern is that there may be damage to the apartment or she stops paying rent - and this would be deducted from the deposit.
