My roommate and I had a heated argument on October 15 that ended up in her assaulting me physically. Since that date she moved out. We signed a lease on Sept. 23 and she said she was going to pay but she did not. The lease is on both our names. She already picked up some of her stuff. And she purchased a loft that will be ready between February and April next year. She moved out to her mother's house.
I am trying to change bills to my name but companies requires her to be the one to call. So I am carrying with bills and rent while she is paying nothing.
Is she responsible for the lease until I find a sub-leasee?
I do not want her in here, but landlord said the only way to stop her having access to the apartment is by issuing a protection order against her. I am considering to do so, but I need to know if she is liable for the rent until the lease expires.
