Re: apartment legalites
This is not a real estate and real property question. It is a landlord/tenant question, or a question of rights between tenants.
Rights depend upon your agreement. Most people who share apartments neglect to get a written agreement with the other tenant(s). If you sign on the lease, you are responsible for the rent and lease obligations. If you share an apartment, you have equal right to possess it.
Re-submit if you have a specific question.
