I rented my house in FL to a friend. The lease is up in August 2008. I have paid all of the rent collected to the mortgage company. The rent does not pay the entire mortgage.The first mortgage is not late. However, the second is 60 days late. I am not able to continue to pay this debt. I am filing bankruptcy this week. I advised my friend that she should begin looking for a place to live. I advised her that she can live in the house for a month without paying rent. She does not want to have o move. She has decided to seek legal advise. I am concerned that I can be held responsible for her loss of housing. Does she have any legal recouse?
Also, I left the utilities in my name. When I checked the balances yesterday, she was late paying last month's bill and has not paid the current amount due for Feb? Can I turn them off. If yes, should I give her written notice?
