Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Well, presumably you guys are both jointly liable under the terms of the lease. If you default, which is what you did, then the LL will come after both of you. If you are the only one that can pay then you would have a complaint against your partner, but of course if she has no money to pay you then all you get is an empty judgment.

I would reach out to counsel in private to discuss the facts and maybe have the situation reviewed.

If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):
