Me and roomate currently rent a two bedroom house. Both of our names are on the lease. Due to some personal differences my roomate is planning to leave before the lease expires. This would force all of the rent and bills on me. Is this allowed? Wouldn't there need to be dual consent from both me and the landlord?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
She can't just "breach the contract" and leave you holding the bag. One, tell her that you'll sue her for her share of the lease; or, two, see if there is a "lease buy-out" either in the lease, or through the landlord, and if there is, then the two of you can split up and leave the residence.
