If you are not on the lease to the residence, the landlord has no contactual rights to sue you for breach of the lease agreement. Some landlords assert that because you continued to occupy the residence that there is either a quasi-contractual relationship or grounds for an equitable suit such as unjust enrichment. Most likely the Landlord's remedies are only against the persons on the Lease Agreement.
