Three’s Company

October 24, 2014

Three roommates signed a residential lease for a house in Plano, but a month into the lease one of the parties moved out and stopped paying rent.  Her two former roommates sued her for breach of contract.  The Court of Appeals upheld the trial court’s determination that the plaintiffs had established an implied contract to lease the house jointly based on the acts and conduct of the three roommates.
