That’s a weird situation. Do you think the landlord has the apartment rented out to someone else up through August even though your D and mates are already paying on it - i.e. is he ‘double renting’ it? If so, he’s clearly doing something he shouldn’t. I don’t blame the one girl from backing out and would suggest the others do as well. However, they should document everything - especially if he’s double renting it - and file suit in small claims if he won’t refund the deposit. Who knows what other issues are ahead with a landlord like this should they go forward with it and move in!
