My roomate is moving out early...?
She, my buddy and I signed a 12 month lease last August. Now she told us she is moving to another city (3.5 hours away) on the 26 th. Apparently she thinks its cool for her to mail in her portion of the rent each month.
My issues:
How can we trust her to actually mail in checks?
Shouldn't she liable for a third of the bills?
(That was a part of the agreement, otherwise me and my buddy would be living in an inexpensive apartment as opposed to a house)
Since three of us signed the same lease, if she decides not to pay will we be liable for the entire rent to the expiration of the contract?
The total amount of bills averages over $500 a month. The main reason why we signed a lease with her is so we can afford to live in a house ( I really have no excitement about living in a apt.). So we had a verbal contract over splitting the bills even three ways. As for the argument that 'why should she have to pay for the utilities if she is not using them?'
Its expensive to live in the house and that was part of the agreement, otherwise I would not choose to live in the house splitting it two ways.
With 4 mos. left on the lease, who would want to go thru the apllication and moving process?
I told her she should sublet.

I would be dollars to donuts you won't see a check from her after she moves.
You are going to have to gear up to sue her for her portion of the rent in small claims. If she leaves and you don't try to mitigate your losses by bringing in a new tenant, that will look bad on you.
Also, I don't think you would win a case over the bills for the utilities when she isn't even living there. She isn't using them. You can, charge her for 1/3 of the utilities until she moves out.

if she's not there to help run up the utility bills why should she have to help pay them.
If she doesn't pay rent like she is supose to take her to small claims. however in the meantime your landlord is going to want the entire amount of rent each mother regardless of who pays it.

going to court and getting involved in all this breach of contract is a mess. Just leave it, and find someone else. Its a bummer.
