QUESTION
Can I recover half of rent & utilites from ex live in partner?
Asked on Jan 27th, 2016 on Collections - Florida
More details to this question:
Ex boyfriend and I signed an apartment lease in June 2014. We both lived at the residence until Feb 2015 at which time he took himself off the lease. Between June 2014 & Feb 2015 (9 months) he never paid me half the rent or utilities. Once he left, I had to pay the rent & utilities until April 2016 (60 day notice). During the 60 day notice period the apartment was vacant because I had to move in with parents because I feared for my safety. Is there a way that I can recover my losses and collect half the rent & utilities and early termination fees?

Possibly, but when this involves an EX, its generally better to leave it alone and move on with better decisions in the future.
