Did she sign the lease? If yes then you better read it. Mine always said that both parties are responsible totally not separately so if one went the other had the burden. Not the owners fault that they split. See how they look at it? Check the link for local laws! Good Luck

Yes she is responsible if her name is on the lease. She entered into the legal document and has to abide by the terms of the lease even if she's not living there. If they turn it over to collections it will show up on her credit report if they cannot collect they will place a judgement on her credit preventing her from, renting, owning a home, buying a car, purchasing anything on credit. Best thing for her to do is get this straightened out now with the management company or her boyfriend this could be a major issue later on down the road and then trying to go back years to get it resolved is a nightmare. Make sure that if she gets this straighted out and paid up to date with the mgmt company that she gets everything in writing that it's been taken care of. If the mgmt company fails to do their part and report it as paid, if it shows up on her credit 4 years from now she has a letter showing it was handled.

If she signed her name on the lease agreement they will come after her for100% of the money due them. They will try and get it out of who ever they can..........they're not going to just go after her for the 50%.
If they take it to collections it will probably go onto her credit report & she will have trouble renting in the future. Hopefully she can speak with the X and they will be mature enough to both try and preserve their credit by doing the right thing.
Why didn't she go to the management immediately and tell them she needed to be released from the lease as he kicked her out and he wants to stay? With a little mature communication with management, she could have probably walked away and it would have been his problem.

All parties who signed the lease are fully liable for the entire amount of the lease. Same for the utility bills -- if it's in your name, you're liable. If they can't locate him, SHE will be liable for ALL of the fees and costs.

What does your written settlement state? in the journey that your written settlement demands one month observe to terminate the tenancy, then so as to vacate on June thirtieth, observe would must be won previously June 1st. If observe replaced into no longer appropriate given - in writing on or previously June 1st, you owe for the full month of July's hire. If there is not any written settlement, observe standards would default to Connecticut's landlord tenant statutes. Connecticut's landlord tenant statutes are SILENT on observe standards. this suggests that in case you do not have a written settlement requiring one month's observe to terminate the tenancy, no observe is needed by using regulation. Connecticut's landlord tenant rules do no longer point out or require prorating hire in any respect. besides the undeniable fact that, in case you nonetheless be till July 1st, you owe the full months hire through fact July 1st is a clean month.

If both their names are on the lease, then yes.But! He threw her out,before he moved out? If the answer is yes, then that is an Illegal Eviction and she has to sue him foe it. She may be entitled to more than just the rent she's paid. If she can prove he kicked her out.

If her name is on the lease, she owes for all fees.
If BOTH of their names are on the lease, they BOTH owe.
The lease signor(s) are responsible
