What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
My roommate and I failed to give 60 days notice to vacate. I paid half of the balance and she never paid her half. She also did not pay her last months rent. I paid the other half(full balance) a long while after because it was going to go to collections and my roommate and the cosigner were extremely negligent. This other roommate's Mother is the cosigner. Am I able to sue the cosigner in small claims and would I be able to sue the cosigner on the same case with her daughter, my roommate, or would it have to be a separate case? The lease was a joint and several basis lease. I want to sue the cosigner because it would be easier to get the money. If it were separate it is the better option I would think.
