another rent deposit question
just wondering: if you live in a shared house and are expected to bring in another tenant to replace you, is the landlord entitled to hold onto the deposit until that happens? he's basically threatening me that i have to either get a replacement by the date that i want to move out or the whole house has to move?!
i'm the only one that wants to leave, so that's not going to happen. i'll basically have three weeks to find someone (as well as look for a cheap two-bed) and no-one i live is likely to agree to co-ordinating interviewing dates, so the chances of finding someone by the end of my notice period is slim.
