    Default What Happens if Your Roommate Doesn't Qualify to Extend the Lease

    Hello,

    Looking for some advice and help. I have a rental agreement where I added another person to the lease and I moved out but I was still on the lease. Now the lease term is getting over and I am putting my 30 days notice. Now the leasing manager told me that the other person was approved because my good credit and would not get approved on his own, this was not mentioned to me before. Anyways now I want to get out of the lease, lease gets over in 40 days and I am giving my notice well before 30 days. The other person needs to continue to stay but cannot sign new lease because of his credit and needs another co-signer. Am I going to be held for anything here, do I see myself stuck with this lease now ?

    Please advice.

    Without seeing your lease, and with your having failed to follow the instruction to identify the state, I can only speak in generalities. Under normal circumstances, if a co-tenant gives proper notice and the second co-tenant wishes to remain in residence, the first co-tenant's obligations end when the notice period expires. Absent something to the contrary in the lease, the second co-tenant's tenancy continues; if the landlord wants to end that tenancy the landlord should give notice.
