Okay, thanks. What about this coming August - my roommates are asking that I pay for my share of the rent in August, but I already paid for my last month. At this point, they are planning on either withholding money from me (cable & utilities are in my name), or just not paying the full month of August and blaming me. If they withhold money from me, I guess I'll have to take them to small claims court - not sure if there is anything else I can do. But I'm not sure what will happen if they just pay for their portion of the rent for August (which is only 1/2 of the total rent). Would any action the landlord takes also be against me since I am still there and the other roommates would be claiming it is me who owes? Could it be reported to credit agencies?
