    Default My ex-roomate want to sue me

    I'm internatioanl student in CA state. I moved to my last apartment on May 1st. and lived with one of my roomate(he's a guy). Before, I moved in with him I told him that I can only afford 400 per month and he said ok he will paid the rest( total rent is 1,150) and he also paid for all ultinities. So I decided to sign the lease 6 months contract together with him. While we lived together he tried to ask me to be his girlfriend but I said I can't. We don't have any relationship just a friend. After 2 months had passed, He started to watch porn movie in the living room and also leaved all his porn movies there. The worst thing was when one of my friend came by to have dinner with me, my roommate was there too and while we (me and my friens) were cooking in kitchen, my roomate came in the living room and turn on porn movie in front of us. It's terrified us very much. I'm afraid of him so I decided to move out after i find someone to replace my lease but my roomate said it's ok I don't have to if I want to move out ,I can move out whenever I want, he will pay the rent himself. That's why I decided to move out at the end of July. I'd lived there for 3 months and I paid the rent. But now after 2 months have passed, he want to sue me that I was breaking a contract, leaving him pay the rent himself. What should I do? Can he sue me? Will I have a chance to win? Or if I lose, how much do I have to pay. I'm a victem here. Please help me.

    Try to get him to admit to releasing you, ideally in a voice message, email or letter that you could later produce in court.

    This is one of the (many) hazards of making a poor choice of roommates.
