is co signer responsible once the 6 month lease is up?

By soma

I helped a friend get into an apartment and co signed.  He stayed well passed the 6 month lease which i signed. Later he left and left a huge bill of damage in which they came after me.  am i really liable when my understanding was that I was only signing as co signer for 6 months?  They were trying desperately to get him to sign another contract but he refused.  Am I liable?
