Legal Question
My wife and I rented a house with anouther couple about a year ago. All of the bills were supposed to be split down the center. However we have been stuck with everything. We have paid 6 months of their rent, 11 out of 12 months electric, and they've only paid us $100 of the heat which is $2000 and rising cause the winter isn't over. They say they have no money but they eat out a restaurants almost every night and take weekend trips 4 hrs away almost every month. We were just hoping they would leave at the end of the lease because they said that was their intensions but that is in 3 days and they haven't packed a thing. We told them they have to leave and they won't. They say we can't make them. We would have liked to stay and rent the place ourselves but they aren't leaving which is gonna force us to have to move. We tried talking to landlord but all he's willing to do is have us sign a new lease without them on it. But that doesn't get them physically out the door. Can we do anything other than leave. To make things worse is all the utilities are in our name so we are forced to pay or our credit suffers.
