Long story short, my roommate does not want to pay half of our parking garage fees, since she claims it’s not fair. However, on our lease, it states we owe 125 for two parking spots (no one spot is worth more than the other, although she claims her spot is worth 25 frm the old lease).

It would financial benefit both of us to stay in the apt- and I don’t understand where she gets off pulling rank on me because she moved in two years before i did. On our new lease, she is given no more/no less priviledge than I am. And if she doesn’t pay her full half, or if I don’t’ cover what she’s refusing to pay, we can BOTH be evicted since we are held equally responsible.

Should I pay for the remaining months and then after moving out, take her to small claims? I have emails from her stating that she doesn’t think it’s fair she pays, and I have statements and copies of my checks showing that I’ve consistently paid on time my half. We lease from a big property management company- so how empathetic will they be to my situation?
