My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
*Asking for a friend*
Here is the situation:
Two people move in together in desperation and only one person gets signed to the lease with the verbal agreement of paying half of the deposit ($250), rent ($700/$1400 total) and utilities. All goes well for a few months then tensions arise between the two. Ray (person who is signed to the lease) and B (not on lease) argue about chores and their dogs don't get along with each other.
Since B is afraid of getting bit by Ray's dog again, she hasn't been staying at her apartment for most of April and decided to leave. Ray was considering giving her the 30-day notice to move out, but never did it. Now that B is moved out, Ray wants to sue B for not giving a 30-day notice and not paying May's rent (which would have been the last month of her staying there).
B is not signed on the lease, but did have her names on the utility bills which have been cancelled prior to her leaving. She paid April's rent, share of utilities, and half of the deposit, allowing Ray to keep her deposit. Yet Ray is still pushing to sue.
Is it legal for Ray to sue B (who is not on the lease) for not giving the 30-day notice & last month's rent? Also, bringing in old employer to situation posing at witness to Ray and withholding B's check in order to pay for the rent.
