    Default Can You Break a Lease if Your Roommate is Difficult and Isn't Paying Rent

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Missouri

    Hello,
    My daughter is a second year vet student at the university of Missouri. She's lived with another student who now has graduated and is a veterinarian. Thie vet is doing an internship. This woman is not paying my daughter her share of the rent, this time she's behind over 3 months. The lease is in both their names. She is extremely hard to live with. Issues to numerous to mention in this forum; everything from leaving vibrators in the shower to spilling gasoline in the garage and having the duplex evacuated. She just needed to fill her vehicle at 3 am and get back to the party. She just renewed the lease in June.

    Can she move? What can she do? Her roommate is insane and will not listen. I told her to call the lease management office on Monday.

    Thanks.

    Yes, she can leave. She will owe the next 11 months of rent or until the apartment is rented.
