I signed a lease with someone on July 1, 2008. I met her on a Friday at the end of June & we signed the lease to start on 7-1-08, She was going to jail that Sunday night & I was trying to help her so she wouldn't lose all her belolngings she left all her belongings behind with the understanding that when she got out we would continue to share the apartment splitting the rent & utilities. She came out at the end of September & started coming to the apartment on the first weekend of October, staying Thursday & going back to her mom's on Monday afternoon. I knew she didn't have a job & would soon be getting one. She stayed on the same days all through October & November. When i asked her for 1/2 the utilities she said she would rather put her stuff in storage & pay $100 a month than pay 1/2 the utilies which is about $66 I did not press her for the rent by rights I think I could have requested rent back to July1, 2008. Our lease is up on January 31, 2009. I do have another tenant ready to move in but she will not move her stuff. She originally said it would be out by December 13, 2008. She did remove her livingroom suite and bathroom items. What are my rights & can I sue her for back rent & utilities or charge her for storage of her items.
