Can a room mate that's not on the lease just move w/out notice?
Hello group I was involved in a situation with a room mate / longterm friend "asked" me to be there room mate and my aggreeing to it. The thought sounded pretty nice besides we have been friends for over ten years, so we go apartment searching to only find out that she can't be on the lease even with a Co signer she can't she owed another property me on the other hand I have Great credit and was approved for every property we went to the properties also informed me that she couldn't be on the lease nor live with me Yikes! She was my friend and I enjoyed her we laughed and had tons of fun so I found an apartment that we both agreed on that was brand new and affordable we didn't require a dep. Well I didn't based upon credit so it saved us both some mony plus the frist month was free so it was a go getter I never informed this property that she would be living with me because of the credit reason with that being said we moved in and me being dumb never got a written agreement between the two of us. Well maybe three months into the lease her sister has an altercation with the grandparents and he puts all three of her other sisters out and guess who's door step they are on? NO... NO... NO... I said but I gave in they were horrible light bill increased and water and also may I include 217.00 in paperview charges We had issues so I approached her about it she went off so I left it alone with that being said she flipped it around on me and said she was moving out without notice and said this is your lease I'm not on it and I'm not obligated to pay anything else when I came home that night she had packed and moved all of her things what am I to do with 3k left of her half on the lease total 6k with my half can I get my money from her legally help me I'm a college student with great credit that I want to keep I don't want to charge the rest on my credit card.
