Messy sublet situation getting worse
I posted that my apartment in NYC was rented ( paperwork) Four days after she moved in the ceiling fell because of roof work being done.
the landlord has asked her to move out for an undetermined amount of time (2-6 weeks.)
she is demanding her money back - security deposit plus last month rent . I already returned this month‘S rent to her for the time she has to be away .
She’s saying she’ll give it to me again if she moves back in .
But If more than 2 weeks she won’t move back .
Do I give her money back until I know what she’s doing?
also , If I return it, her furniture is there .
should I charge her for storage during the time she is away ?
Appreciate any thoughts/ advice since renting out my apt . is a new situation for me, especially in light of unforeseen ceiling damage.
