You unfortunantly found how important it is to have a reliable roomate. The one thing you can do is take her to small claims court to get releif. Being a half counrty away makes it difficult but in the long run could save you money. I assume you have a lease with your landlord. When the lease is up notify your landlord 30- 45 days prior to the end that you have moved and will no longer be liable for any further rents due. Let them know this is whether the person staying there moves or not. Also send a letter to the person staying there of the notification to the landlord. make sure they have your complete contact information. The landlord will be reuired to remove you from the lease. The only problem will be then whether the roomate left behind does damage to the unit. You will still be on the hook for damages.
