My question involves an eviction in the state of: CA
Me and my roommate had dismissal of eviction when he finally delivered possesion of the apartment that we were renting. Now the apartment is trying to collect $6953.52 fpr outstanding debt, since we did not finish our contract (we have 6 months to go) plus attorney and clean up fees.
Both of our names are under the lease, but the thing is i dont think my irresponsible roommate would pay a penny for this charges, but for a fact i know that he caused all this trouble, and he wants to drag me down with having a bad credit.
Is there any possibility that I pay half of it and be clear of this debt and have my roommate settle with the other half? I just want to get over this, but i dont think it is fair for me to pay the whole.![]()
