There is no lease with landlord only a verbal agreement that each person would pay their part of rent directly to the landlord. Upon going to pay rent for December I informed the landlord that I will be moving from the house on Jan 1, 2013. When arriving back home my roommate was moving out and refused to pay her part of rent. She did not inform the lardlord about moving out, didn't give 30days notice and didn't pay their agreed upon part of rent. So does the landlord have the right to hold me accountable for the non paid part of rent? Or did the landlord forfeit that right upon accepting my part of rent & my 30day notice and had a verbal agreement with all tenants that they were responsible for their own part of rent?
