Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
lease agreement
Hi, my boyfriend and I broke up, he asked me to leave the apartment, I agreed to do that, but now after I left(2 months) he is telling me that he needs half of the rent, as my signature appears on the lease agreement...I don't know what to do, I have to pay my own rent now and I am afraid if I don't pay him, he can sue me..I will appreciate if you can put me in the right direction....Sincerely Yuria

Re: lease agreement
While you may not be responsible to him, since he asked you to leave, you are still responsible to the landlord.
