Roommate left without notice
I had a roommate live with me for just over 9 months. She wasn't put onto my lease, I was subletting her the room. Yesterday I came home to find that she had packed up all of her belongings and left the apartment, without paying her final months rent. She also owed me money for the gas bill, and has causded considerable damage to the room I was subletting her. I have tried to contact her regarding get her final months rent but with no response that has settled it. What would be my best and next option into claiming back what she owes me. My rent is due in 3 days and I only have my half of it, as she gave me no notice that she was leaving. Can I take her to court over this?
Thanks! Jules
