Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So a little more than a year ago i moved into an apartment with some friends of mine under the impression that anyone of us that owned pets would take care of pet deposits and such. All 4 of us signed the lease (two roommates in particular owning pets, I did not own any), and we moved in.

Maybe a couple weeks into living there, the discussion of the pet deposit came up and it turned out to be very expensive, and so none of the roommates that owned the pets paid their deposits. Over the course of about a year, the animals gradually destroyed the apartment, the carpet was chewed up, the window blinds were ruined, etc. When we all moved out about a month and a half ago, the two roommates owning pets allegedly cleaned the apartment and took care of the damages the pets caused.

Yesterday, we all received letters from a collection agency stating that we owe over $2000 USD in damages. Now, the roommates owning pets are talking about disputing the debt, but since i was on the lease, im worried that i might be locked into paying part of the debt. WIBTA if i refused to pay part of the debt since i didnt own any pets?
