    I haven't been able to pay anything. unfortunately the tenancy was just in my name.
    I have been emailing the LL but they seem very vague as to what will be the next step in regards to me paying the money.

    I'm wondering if you still have a valid claim against your ex, despite that the tenancy was in your name only, there was obviously an agreement that your ex would contribute. I'm not talking about your landlord claiming from your ex, I'm talking about you claiming from your ex. What does everyone else think?

    I wasn't able to last month but will be able to pay £100 this month

    You should be prioritising rent higher than most other bills and debts. It should not become the thing you pay with whats left at the end of the month...

    Not saying you can afford it all, but only affording £100 over two months is not going to be taken seriously by the Landlord.
