Yes, Sir(or Madam), jointly and severally liable is the operative legal term which appears to be so woefully, and without apparent mitigation, utterly applicable to the situation which you've described.
As to what this means in terms of your question "what am I legally responsible to pay?":
Answer-the WHOLE ENCHILDA, yep, including rental, cleaning, and related fees.
