undefinedWhat is the name of your state? Texas
I apologize for the length. This is the situation. I went on vacation last year. When I returned home I found that my roommate had moved out. He did not tell me or the apartment complex we lived at that he ws moving out. I could not afford to make the entire rent payment myself, so I was forced to move out. We were on a month to month lease. The apartment complex required that you give 60 day notice before moving out. We did not provide the 60 day notice to the apartment complex. The apartment complex said that we had to pay for two months rent. My former roommate recieved notification from a collection agency demanding payment. I never recieved anything from the apartment complex, collection agency, or my former roommate reguarding this. My former roommate paid the amount owed, settling the account. Recently, I recieved a certified letter from him saying that he paid this and demanding that I pay for half. I was not even aware of the situation or that he paid it until after the fact. He has threatened to take this to small claims court. My question is: Do I have to pay him?
Considering that he was the one that created this situation by moving out without telling anyone, and that he paid the amount owed without speaking with me. Am I obligated to pay him back? I never agreed to pay him anything.
