My daughter moved to Montana with her boyfriend. They were looking for an apartment, when a friend of her boyfriend suggested they move in with her. They signed the rental application. They never signed the lease, but they came to be listed on the lease as *roommates*. They have since decided they can't get along, & want to move out. Are they responsible for the rest of the lease, which is a year lease, even though they are only listed as roommates on the lease that they never signed? Or, can they give notice and leave, and not be responsible?

If your daughter and her boyfriend haven't signed the lease agreement, then they are not responsible for the lease. Nevertheless, an attorney should go through the agreement that they signed with the friend and he will be able to guide them in a better way.

Niicss' advice sounds pretty right-on; though you said they had signed the rental application. What caused them to not be considered as tenants in that case?

Certainly, if they're not obligated to pay a portion of the rental to begin with, they'd surely not be liable to pay now (one would surmise).

I agree that consulting with an attorney will be a very smart move.
