My ex-roommate is saying I owe her $300 for bills.
We had a lease for our apartment for 1 year and verbally agreed that we would pay our half of rent and bills for that year, but she broke the lease and decided to move. (I see now that we should have actually put it on paper.) At first, she wasn't going to pay her half or rent or bills, but then finally agreed to pay her half of the rent.
She left almost all her stuff at the apartment, so I couldn't get a new roommate to move in even if I wanted to. I told also told her either get her stuff out and find some to replace her, or she should continue to pay her half of everything. I can't afford all of the rent and bills on that apartment, so I was forced to move. I just moved last week. However, that caused me to lose my $200 deposit since it's breaking the lease.
Originally, all the bills were all in her name. When she moved, I transferred half of them to my name, but she still had 2 in her name (gas and water) because of the high deposit to disconnect and reconnect. The electricity bill that I switched to my name hadn't been paid in a few months, so I ended up having to pay it all (~$250).
Is there any way she can make me pay that? Or since it's in her name, is it her responsibility?
