I've never sued anyone, or had any dealings with the courts in the past so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. Here's the story:
I live in a two bedroom apartment with my girlfriend, and we recently rented out the other bedroom to someone we didn't really know (he had a full time job, seemed quiet and nice, etc.). Over the past month he's been acting extremely weird. He barely ever sleeps, always yelling things at 3-6AM. I confronted him and asked if he did meth, his response was "YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS THAT YOU CAN'T". He's been saying a lot of things that don't make sense, and I mean really weird things. For example, last week he came in from work and stood in the living room staring at me repeating himself about five times saying "Super heroes aren't bad guys, Will," getting louder and louder each time before slamming his door to his room. He also has come to my workplace and yelled at my coworkers, saying he has a message for me but never leaves a message. He just gets loud and upset and storms out. He's done this twice now and was warned that if he came back they would call the cops.
Three days ago while I was at work he got into a verbal fight with my girlfriend and things got so loud that our neighbors called the cops. They came and arrested him, and he was back the next day.
This morning things got really bad. He was screaming nonsense, shattered the bathroom mirror, punched walls and just went on a rampage. We called the cops, and when they got here it took six of them to take him down. He's in jail right now but he's scheduled to be released tonight. The police contacted me and suggested that we leave.
I talked to my landlord about this, and he's saying that we have to pay two extra months rent, and not get our security deposit back - to cover all the costs of the damages that our roommate caused. Our roommate however, because he signed the release forms yesterday, can stay here for up to thirty days and not have to pay a dime. So now we have to pay $3000, and we're not even going to be staying here for fear of our safety. I'm packing up my important belongings today and trying to find a place we can sleep tonight.
What can we do? I don't think it's fair we have to pay all this money when we obviously didn't do it. Is this crazy addict getting off scott free because he signed the release papers yesterday? Any help is much appreciated.
