“Kept roommate's share of security deposit”

Kept roommate's $1,400 security deposit, sparking a legal battle with our old landlord.

What I wish I knew
"I should've been honest with my roommate about the deposit."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be transparent with your roommates about shared finances."
