Re: roomate

While I may not give you legal advice because you are not yet my client, generally speaking each tenant is responsible for all of a lease so if a roommate moves out, the other roommate is liable for the full rent. Have you let the landlord know? Have you tried to find another roommate? If you live in the City of Chicago, you may have recourse under the City Landlord Tenant ordinance.
