A few days later, he showed up and was hanging out in a room down hall, when someone called security, as we had been instructed to do should he return. From what I'm told of incident, he went out onto balcony (4th floor) and threatened to jump when police arrived on scene. After a tense confrontation, they charged him and were able to subdue him after he punched at least one officer. He was then carried - literally kicking and screaming - off University's property and was taken into custody. He spent about a month or so in a mental facility in Israel before he was deported back to America.

When my roommate got back to apartment, he discovered that Jason had left us a final message. Using a razor, he had cut open his finger and painted a message in his own blood on our bathroom mirror ("you all lied to me, blah, blah, blah"), then tied bloody razor to a rose and left it on kitchen table.

Now that is a roommate from hell.

There will also be other fees associated with moving in another renter. In apartment world it is called a “turn-over fee”. These fees are connected with preparing unit for a new renter. Did landlord have to send in a painter and/or cleaner in order to re-rent your apartment? Charges such as these can also be charged to you as well.

If you feel that your landlord did not treat you fairly, contact a lawyer who has experience in landlord-tenant law. You may want to explore your options.
