Odds are you are jointy and severally liable for anything due under the lease. Note however, I do not believe that you or your daughter should be liable for the acts of others. Consequently, you should advise them to go after the offender and give his information to them. Hopefully, they will accept this and chase the boyfriend.

What the boyfriend does is the boyfriend's problem. Having said that, please read the lease, if he was an invitee then perhaps you could be liable.
