Question

A friend and I moved into an apartment my name was put on to the lease along with the lease but he was the only one that signed it, now that I'm trying to move out he tells me that I can't because we're both on the lease. Will it be difficult to remove my name from the lease? if he moves out early and breaks the lease will I be financially responsible to pay the fines or remainder of the lease?

Answer

If you did not sign or give anyone the authority to enter into a lease contract on your behalf, you should not be bound to the lease contract.
