A: Some friend. In theory, if you were a subtenant (even under an oral lease, not permitted by their landlord) you would be on a month-to-month lease and required to pay rent up to 30 days after you moved out. But you're probably better off writing this person out of your life and ignoring her requests. Obviously if you receive a copy of a complaint filed with the court or a letter from a collections company you should probably talk with your own attorney. But until then, I'm not sure there's any good that would come out of engaging with her.
