In Gulf Breeze, Florida, on a year lease with my girlfriend's mother even though she is on assignment and living in Cape Coral, Florida (long story that I can expound on if it becomes relevant). We agreed to each pay 50% of the rent and I would cover utilities. After a falling out, she has decided to stop paying her half of the rent. I understand that we are joint and severally liable so the landlord must still be paid, regardless of which tenant is doing it. My question is that since I have no written agreement with my co-tenant, only a verbal agreement, can I still take her to small claims court for the amount of money she fails to pay? If so, what are my chances of winning the suit? What kind of things should I bring as far as evidence or documents? She's also trying to tell me that I need to buy out her security deposit. Is this true? I'm meeting with my landlord today to talk to her about this stuff, and my co-tenant keeps trying to ask me why I need to talk to her, and saying that she can probably answer any questions herself.
