Landlord says I can’t work from home office, is this legal?
I live in a 4 br house with roommates. One recently got married and moved out, so I decided I would rent his room and use it for my home office. I work remotely as a loan officer for a reverse mortgage company based in So Cal. My landlord now says it’s not legal for me to use the room or any part of the house for my work purposes. I use my home office for phone calls and administrative purposes. I meet with clients in their homes, not mine. He says there are insurance/zoning laws which prohibit me from doing this. I don’t believe this is true. Everyone has a home office these days, including my landlord, who lives about 20 miles away. Any qualitified advice and/or resources would be greatly appreciated so I can give him an educated response. Thank you.

Ex roommate
I lived with two other roommates last summer in a duplex. Two months over the summer I had to work out of state in Maine at a camp. We had agreed that while I was gone I would send rent, but not money for utilities, since I was not using them

Multiple Tenant Lease or Sublet?
My daughter, a college student, would like to rent an apartment in Virginia with 2 friends. She has known them for 6 months and feels they would be good roommates. Even so, she is concerned about what would happen if a roommate can not pay their rent or turns out to be a roommate "problem".

Security Deposit after 1 out of 3 roommates leave
I had a 1 year lease with 2 other girls. We all paid 1/3 of the security deposit at the signing of the lease (we each paid $1000). I gave my landlord more than 30 days notice before moving out and have an email stating that I wanted to terminate my portion of the lease at the end of it.
