    Angry Ex-Roommate Moved in Others While I'm Still Paying Rent

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: California

    I am so frustrated. In September of 2009, my friend and I BOTH signed a 1 year lease for a 2 bedroom apartment. I ended up moving out January 2010 because she had her boyfriend always there (more than I even was and even he would be there when her and I were at work) and she had the master bedroom and would not share the carport spot. I paid HALF of the rent and got a smaller portion of the apartment. It was very unfair and I was unhappy so I moved out agreeing to still pay half of my rent and no utililities since I would not be there to use them. I found out that after these past 3 months I have not been there, but still paying my half, she has moved her mother AND uncle in and my room is now being rented out without my consent. They are paying her rent and now she is only paying $200 a month while I'm still paying $475 and not even living there. Management will not help me, they say it's my problem. WHAT DO I DO? What are my rights?!? Please help!

    Thank you,
    Fed-Up

    Default Re: Ex-Roommate Moved in Others While I'm Still Paying Rent

    Since you're on the lease, as your landlord says, it is your problem.

    But you can stop paying rent, and deal with the possibility that your ex-roommate will default; you're in a better situation than us to guess if, when told by you that her new roommates need to pay your share of the rent, she'll pay the whole rent or default.
