I got it back and they left a large portion of it blank with the explanation "I'm still going to be responsible for the full lease, so Abbi didn't fill out the income part, and her lease history is the same as mine."

@Brian Eastman thanks for the response.

No attorney can really help you as the bank has no responsibility, or perhaps even the legal ability, to negotiate anything with you.You have no recourse against the county or the courts.  

@Matthew Auletta Hi Matt, thanks for the response.

What utilities should a land lord be responsible for paying and what utilities should a tenant pay?

If they complete a short sale they will receive a 1099 for the difference ($1M) and may be responsible to pay taxes on that 'phantom income'. 

There just isn't enough information provided to give a proper response.

Thanks for your responses and sorry about the typos.

Then, when they enroll in the local schools, I had to sign an affidavit certifying they are tenants, on the lease, and furthermore I'm responsible for fines, and reimburse the town for money spent on educating an illegal resident.

Thanks for the response, I will be listening to your episode on my way into work tomorrow!
