hi, I need legal advice about a landlord situation. I’ve been spiraling and trying to find out what’d be the next best action here.

In 2022, I signed a lease guaranty for a friend in LA. but I never lived there physically. he then renewed the lease in 2023 and 2024, my name was added as a co-resident without my consent.

I received the DocuSign emails but never signed them, yet both leases show my signature completed. I then found that both leases have the exact same DocuSign signature ID and IP address, which suggests my signature was reused without my consent.

my friend fled the country, I called the apartment & found out that the balance is at $10k. I have NEVER been contacted by the apartment regarding this.

my biggest worry would be they send this to collections and it’ll ruin my good credit. i’ve built this with blood and tears… also i did run my credit reports and they all show as clean atm. I need to know if I'm liable and what my rights are. currently trying to reach out his family members to see if they can pay the balance owed to keep my name clean.

THANKS SO MUCH:,) im literally spiraling…
