Should I pay the entire rent if I break a cotenant agreement


17-Sep-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
I moved into a house in Banglore(India) 2 months back with 2 other girls under a cotenant agreement(3 names mentioned in same agreement) for a period of 11 months after giving 50K(my share) as advance. I had to break the agreement due to an emergency situation. I had not got my share of the advance amount back and the other roommates are asking me to pay rent for the months that are not covered by my advance amount. The rent agreement does not mention the amount paid by each one of us as advance or rent, The exit clause is for vacating the whole house before 11 months, not for individuals.

You are absolutely right about the Bangalore situations. When you are a joint tenancy with respect to the schedule premises or scheduled property it is the understanding between the parties residing in.
