    Default Roommate Left and Hasn't Paid Water Bill, Water is Getting Cut Off

    I was living with my roomate in VA. She has since moved out a couple of weeks ago, however, she has yet to pay her share of the water bill which is in both of our names but the letters are adressed to her. I have given her a check for park of one of the bills writted out to her. She failed to use that money to pay the bill and moved out without warning. She also has not paid the bill for the previous month. The total is now above $300 for because of late fees and such. I have texted her about the situation and have saved texts saying she paid everything, which i know she did not. I threatened to take her to small claims court for taking my money and not using it to pay the bill. I called the water company today and saw that she had set up a payment plan to pay off the rest of the balance, however the amount of $165.20 is still due by friday or the water gets cut off. My questions is can I still take her to small claims court for the remaining balance of the water amount plus some other money she owes me like her half of the power bill, which is in my name?

    If she owes you money, you can sue her in small claims court to recover the money she owes you.
