What should I do about my roommates breaking the lease?

Answer by  DouglasEarlClore (1236)

If it costs you money and you want to be repaid, you need to take your deadbeat roomates to court and sue them.

Answer by  WiseGirl (59)

Work out a deal where he/she pays 2/3 of the lease-breaking penalty and you pay the rest. Or find another roommate to sign on.

If you have a signed lease and the roomates are breaking it then I would suggest small claims court or possibly finding someone to sublet.

If your roommates have signed a lease, they must abide by this. If they have not signed a lease, you have no recourse but to find new tenants.

If they broke the lease and moved out without the notice required by the lease, you can sue them for the amount they are obligated to pay and didn't.
