Why is that the landlord's problem? Try contacting the landlord and see if you can either sublease your apartment or see if they will allow you to break it if you can find someone else to fill the vacancy when you leave.Originally Posted by raptors29

i read somewhere, that if someone takes the apartment the day you leave they cant sue you for anything because they didnt lose any income.Originally Posted by crcballer55

If you just get up and leave, he has the right to sue you and he will win since you have a written contract in place.
Exactly. Try talking to the landlord first to work something out, do not just up and leave. Also remember that the next place you rent will probably try to get a reference from your current landlord.Originally Posted by crcballer55

If you find someone to take the lease in a timely manner that won't cause the landlord to lose any income previously guaranteed by your lease, then you're all good. As a landlord, he has an obligation to mitigate with you to find an adequate solution to complete the lease one way or another. If you can't find a person to fulfill your obligation and he loses any income guaranteed by your lease, you will have to pay damages when sued.Originally Posted by MECKS

but what he ^ is talking about is a change of responsability, you find somone else to live there the rest of your lease contract
I'm not so sure. Ya, there isn't a loss of income, but the also isn't a legal contract between the landlord and the new occupants either. If they damage the property then chances are the landlord will come after the tenant on contract. I'm sure this is a state-by-state issue regarding the legalities of contract law and what your liabilities as a tenant are beyond just loss of income to the landlord.Originally Posted by cristobal

i just saw that you had a roommate bail on you, that might be a problem if they know you guys are not family....they will see through your lie.....would be best if they dont know your roommate left
