I reside in Oshkosh, Wisconsin (Winnebago County). Yesterday I was notified via mail by the Circuit Court that my ex-roommate has filed a small claims court suit against me for final bills and unpaid rent. I am responsible for the final bills, unfortunately I did not realize she had sent them to my parents' house at my request and I have not been there in over a month to check my mail. I will happily pay my portion of the phone and water bill. However, I am wondering if I am truly responsible for the rent. I moved in with the roommate, she had a lease with the landlord which had expired; therefore, she was month to month. I never spoke to or met the landlord, I simply sent checks to him for half of the rent from July through September, 2000. In addition, my ex-roommate and I had no agreement as to me having to give any sort of notice. I moved into the apartment knowing I could move out at anytime, which was important to me since she was a stranger. The situation between us became intolerable due to a pending lawsuit between her and a friend of mine, she did a lot of spiteful things, including banning my friend from our home (denying me normal use)and disconnecting our phone with no notice to me.
My bottomline question is, am I responsible to pay her the rent for October 2000, since I did move out on September 29, 2000 with no notice?
Respectfully, Aubrey
