Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities

questions & answers

Question: I was on a lease with 4 other people and to move out these other tenants had to release me from the lease. After being released the property manager is saying that I was never released now they are sticking me with an $1100 bill. I only have contact with 1the former roommate but he vouches that he signed me off the lease. What can I do to avoid this bill?

Answer: Carefully review the terms and conditions on the lease. If available contact the landlord to discuss the situation. The Landlord Tenant website http://azlawhelp.org/articles_info.cfm?mc=3&sc=24&articleid=25 has useful information regarding responsibilities of landlords and tenants. If the matter continues, small claims court can be another option.
