Background: I live with my girlfriend and another couple who are friends of ours. Those three are on the lease and I am not. I do however my 1/4 of the rent.
The girl in the other relationship has a problem with being controlling. Over the New Years holiday when she was out of town, mygirlfriend, myself, and her boyfriend had a good time (were intoxicated) without her. When I wasnt in the room her boyfriend and my girlfriend kissed a few times. I have come to accept their explanation, that it was not part of a long standing affair, just a mistake and a symptom of two seperate problems with our relationships.
The Problem: She is not as willing to trust as I am. They left the apartment temporarily to cool down. My girlfriend and I want them to come back so that we can work it out. However she doesnt feel she can let her boyfriend and my girlfriend live together anymore. She wants everyone to be forced to move out and find new places to live because it would be "fair" to her. She has told us she consulted a lawyer about recovering half rent, lost wages, and moving costs from my girlfriend. She will not seek these damages if we agree to move out. I think she is blowing things out of proportion and is being overly vindictive. Our best choice would be to have them stay and work it out. If she cant be comfortable here we offered to pay her for her part of the security deposit and for me to sign on as sublesser. Can she force my GF, who is on the lease, out of this apartment? And it is my opinion that the crime would not fit the punishment if she sued. Help!
