Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois
Sub lease
me and another friend are currently
leasing a house with 3 other friends,
the other friend and i are looking to
leave the house and find two other
people to take our place. the one
problem is that all 5 of us have put
down a 1000 dollar security deposit.
we need to be leaving asap and we
feel that no one is going to be willing
to pay this kind of money up front. is
there any way that some sort of a
damage liability form can be signed
holding them responsible for 1000
dollars if aything were to go wrong
on there end of things?

Re: Sub lease
Yes, but that agreement would be between you and the new tenant - not the landlord and new tenant - unless the landlord agreed. That means that the landlord could still hold your deposit and take out of it if there are damages. It would be up to you to go after the sublessee then
