If you co-signed on an apartment, the lease is up, you provided 30 day notice to end the lease, but the other person chooses to stay, what is the legal obligations that the apartment manager must follow in regards to transferring the lease and the deposit that was placed on the apartment? Does the co-signer have any rights to the deposit?
I COSIGNED A LEASE ON AN APT. FOR A FRIEND IN SEATTLE, WASH. IN 2004. THE LEASE WAS A YEARLY LEASE AND WAS RESIGNED ON A YEARLY BASIS BY ONLY MY FRIEND FOR ANOTHER 3 TO 4 YEARS. SHE APPARENTLY DID NOT GIVE PROPER NOTICE WHEN SHE MOVED OUT EVEN THO SHE THOUGHT SHE DID.
THEY SAY SHE OWES $3900. THE COLLECTION AGENCY SAYS THAT SINCE I WAS ON THE ORIGINAL LEASE THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE AS WELL, AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE.
THANK YOU
