Squatting

[MadmanMSU]

What is the name of your state? Michigan

I moved into an apartment this past January. The previous two tenants who lived there and who had signed the lease had vacated the premises, and one person who was subleasing was living there. I had an agreement to pay her(the subleaser) half of her rent to live there. Neither one of us actually signed any papers, so I believe technically we are squatting.

My question is this: if the management finds out about us living there, are we legally responsible for any of the rent owed at all? Are we legally responsible for anything since neither of us have signed a shred of paper?

Absolutely. And, it serves you right-with that USERID!

so what are we legally liable for? And just out of curiosity, how would they collect if they don't even know my name?

This is so pathetic.

Stop trying to find a way to get out of paying for a place to live. Good grief.
