[WSBARP] Residential Lease Question

[Jan Kelly]

My lease experience is primarily commercial, but I have a friend with a
residential lease question. He and his long-time girlfriend rented a house.
The lease expires next month. My friend paid the lease through to the end
of the lease period, informed the landlord that the lease would not renew
thereafter, and has moved out; he terminated his relationship with the
girlfriend at the same time.

The girlfriend tells him that she has no money, cannot find a place to move
and that no one can make her leave in the current situation.

My question is whether my friend has any liability for the actions of his
ex-girlfriend for rent after May 31st? He has paid all expenses during the
course of the lease. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
