State: Ohio
My girlfriend and I moved in with another couple, all four of us singed a year long lease, with myself and the other man primary leases. 7 months into the lease, they decided that myself and my girlfriend were too messy for their liking, started a fight, then proceed to move out the next day.
My g/f and I are going to stay in the apartment for the remainder of the lease, as it's cheaper that way, then moving, or breaking the lease.
The lease is up in April 2010. Will I be able to hold the other party liable for half the rent and utilities in small claims court from now until April?
Since the security deposit was paid half by me and half by the other party, do I owe him any part of the security deposit upon my move out, or since they broke the lease, do they forfeit it?
