I had to get the lady I was subleasing for, and the roommate's signature on this paper as well as mine. I emailed her to come sign this and she said she will be out of town until 3/16. So I just sat on the papers until she got back.

In the 6 days of living there, I thought I was going to be sick at how disgusting this chick was that I was living with. There was food left out for what looked like to be more than a week, moldy drinks sitting around, kitchen had no counter space because it had nasty dishes out, there were cockroaches in the bathroom, and the place smelled like a rotten animal or a dead rotten human being (either one works).

So, yeah, I moved out and am now living at a friend's apartment's extra room for less money a month.

She just left me a voicemail saying "call me asap, I heard you moved out..when are you going to pay me my money"

Before I call her back...am I off the hook for the rent money? I mean I didn't sign anything...but I did live there for 6 days without paying anything. Do I have to give her money for the 6 days I lived there?

SportsAndLady;1121565 wrote:Yeah I just want to check with the OC contract law/attorney people to make sure I do the right thing from here. I feel pretty confident there's no way she can make me pay becuase I didn't sign anything (and I tried getting her to sign it, but she was just like i'm gonna be out of town for 10 days..I was like umm alright?...so I made an active attempt to get her to finalize this thing, but she didn't do it).

But I just wanna make sure I don't do anything stupid here

If she then says she wants her money, I'll call someone.
