<prompt> Human: So I rented a town house with three other roommates last August. The contract was until end of July and since I wasnt staying for June and July, I subleased my room to a girl, who signed all the necessary papers and whatnot. As far as rules go, the apartment office told me that she would have the same responsibility as any other roommates. I remembered one of my friends roommate got kicked out of his room for not paying rent and got evicted. I heard that gets on your record too?Anyways, I wiped and vacuumed the whole apartment before helping her move in with her stuff. I spent a few days at my friends house before getting on flight back home abroad. I got a call from the apartment office before the takeoff that my sublesee didnt want to move in because the place was dirty, which was a total bs. I let her stay for free in May and only asked her to pay June and Julys rent she moved in second week of May.Now my roommateformer, who has his name on the electricity bill, is telling me that the electricity bill was 60, which meant someone had to be blasting AC and whatnot. This had me believe that she still lives in my room but is just refusing to pay rent at all.What can I do at this point? The office told my former roommate to tell me to pay up for Junes rent now. I dont get how my sublesee can get away with this.  <response>: Youll want to take this to rlegaladvice as this is a legal issue.Short answer, you will probably need to take her to small claims court.If she is subletting from you, and you are on the lease to the apartment, then you will owe the apartment the rent so your roomate is correct.She might be living there. Might be worth a visit to the apartment to confirm. If she is living there than you can start eviction proceedings. If she isnt, then maybe it was all a fluke with the electric bill. Honestly, if she signed a lease and just decided not to move in because it was dirty she still signed the contract so you can sue her in small claims in that case too. Start documenting all the conversations you had with her, make copies of your lease and the lease she signed. It might be a pain in the ass to get the ball rolling, but if you actually are serious about it than she wont get away with it. You can easily take this girl to court and win, or evict her if she is squatting which will make her life hard finding a place in the future. Just dont change the locks, even if she isnt on the lease because you need to go through the legal way of kicking her out plus then theres a mark on her reecord for it
