Alright guys I have a question and I need some input. My friends and myself have been renting a house from my mother since September 2010. We renewed the lease a year later for another year. Well things have gone stale and everyone is ready to move out and do their own thing. Well on the new lease that was signed only one of the guys signed the lease and just listed myself and the other roomate as people who would be living there. The realtor said we could move out with no problems if they found someone to rent it fairly soon or it could be possible that my mother would take us to small claims court.
I know for a fact that my mom wouldn't do that if I had signed my name to the lease, but I did not. It was only one of my roomates who signed the 2nd lease. If she did decide to take us to small claims court would she be able to only take the person who signed the contract, or everyone who is listed on the contract but did not sign?
