Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Eviction

My college son was evicted from a apartment he shares with 3 roommates. The eviction occured because 1 of the room mates hasn't paid rent X3 months. Just received a bill from apartment complex for remaining amount of of lease (4/06-8/06) plus cleaning and new carpet fees. Who is responsible for remaining rent? Thanks for the info.

Re: Eviction

All of the tenants who signed the lease collectively are responsible, then all of the tenants that paid extra can sue the deadbeat roommate for his failure to contribute.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
