Ok so here is the problem.... My roommate released me from the lease and I moved out 5 days after we paid the rent. I did the calculations and i should have received $179 back for the days that i would not be in the apartment. The guy in the office even said that my roommate could change the locks on the apartment and i could not get back in even if i had paid for a full months rent. The electric bill is in my roommates name and I pay it because he was having trouble paying it on time and our lights would get cut off. The bill for the electric was 128 dollars and i did not pay it as to recoup my money for rent that I had paid and would not be able to live there. My roommate is saying that he is going to take me to court for the unpaid electric bill. I need input on what I should do and if i should have paid the electric bill, and if I was entitled to the $179 of rent that i was not going to be living there, also if he takes me to court will I have to pay for the fees that it would cost for him to do it.
