Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

So I have an old room mate that screwed us over by having total 1300 dollars in fees Since August 1st of last year. Now in the lease agreement says that each late day is $50 and you can't use security deposit as last month's rent he did just that he had us pay 800 from his security deposit and supposedly he was going to pay the rest but he didn't, i did .when he moved out my land lord and I tried to contact him over the phone but he's been avoiding us I'm in va I need to know what's my next step now that the landlords has been paid off.... My land lord has proof that he said that he was supposed to pay and not me ... Can I still sue him?

Sure, you should be able to sue this individual in small claims court to

recover what you contributed to his share of what he owed under this

lease but allegedly failed to pay.
