    At a guess I would say that as you were the last tenant it might be your problem, you could perhaps speak to CAB ?

    Hi and welcome to the community 

    I'm not certain and you should get some expert advice 

    From personal experience if your name is on the tenancy or any bills if they are in joint names you are both liable and they try and recover debt from whoever they can contact

    Or Shelter.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
