QUESTION
Can I sue roommate who was on lease because he bailed causing me to break lease as well because I couldn't afford to pay his half of rent?

More details to this question:
No there is no physical paper saying we would each pay half of rent but his name is on the lease and I have messages proving he won't pay it. The apartment said it was going to go to collections since I couldn't afford the cancelling fee either.

Arguably yes you could.
Your situation involves factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss. If you are interested in pursuing the matter further, I off an initial 1/4 hour consultation without charge, and a 1/2 hour consultation for $50. If you want to set an appointment for the initial consultation, feel free to telephone, or email, my office; if you are outside of the Salt Lake area, we can handle all of this by phone.
