What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California.

My ex has told me he has had my name removed from the lease agreement, as we are now seperated.

I have never been informed of this by the landlord, should I not recieve a release of liability!!

I could contact the landlord direct but would rather not, incase the ex is bluffing.
 


Who's Liable?

Your name CANNOT be removed from the lease unless you authorize it. In other words, the LL and the other tenants MUST have your WRITTEN signature to remove you from the lease.
