You're not supposed to do this. If both sides behave honestly and reasonably with respect to the issues to be solved, the messiness will not occur.

These don't just happen on their own, Lisa.

That's not a valid excuse not to pay bills for services you use.

  Dealing with bills is a normal part of adult life. Go to the lawyer or the Mieterverein: they will explain it to you.

I see that you're very angry - I'm sympathetic to that.   When a constellation of misfortunes arrive, it is possible that it's just very bad luck, but commonly it's a result of a complete misinterpretation of the situation: either willful or unconscious. The missing information in your account suggests to me that this is happening here. Landladies are rarely so vindictive without cause; Mahnungs don't arrive without history.    "He did the paperwork in our relationship, which he stole"   You pointedly don't say whether that means he paid the bills for both of you, and now that he's gone you let them go overdue. If it's not the case, why leave it ambiguous?

Erm, no. Does that happen to you when you renew your Bwitish pathport from here?

Strike anyone as odd that all the Mahnungs for this married couple arrive in the name of the absent partner, while the remaining partner has a stated wish that she does "not want to be responsible for things legally"? That the landlady is peculiarly unreasonable about updating the contract to meet the present circumstances? Could it be that these bills are for the normal things related to running a joint household, given the opening shot's first complaint is about Nebenkosten?    "so I won’t be responsible for paying for any thing they might come up with" "and not be hit with bills when I move out"    

   

 

Wait a minute... your're supposed to haggle. Now, are you telling me that's not worth twenty shekels?   https://www.amazon.com/Original-Logitech-Replacement-Wireless-Trackball/dp/B007UCBIBG

You guys down in Munich don't recognise quality when it squeaks in your face. It takes years to build up a patina like that - you can't just go out and buy this stuff.

My god, you're right. With a mistake like that, this mouse deal could turn bad.

I'm sure the beamte for PS2 adapters will give it a proper evaluation. No charge to the proud new mouse owner.

Looks like a workable loophole to me. Let me know how it goes.
