Hey guys. I just moved into a new place (for college) with a stranger (strike 1, I know).
The lease is signed with both of our names to a lady who lives in a nearby city. He is not my landlord although sometimes he acts like it.
Anyway, it's just over a week here and the dog has chewed up my rug (I was able to exchange for another) and has peed on my bed (comforter, sheets are clean now, and mattress has a small stain still). He offered to pay for the comforter and sheets but I haven't really acknowledged that.
Right now I want out of the lease. I'm trying to find a sublessor but I think the lady will let me out outright.
Question is: there's nothing in the lease either way about pet damage or a way I can get out of the lease for something like that. And should I or could I force him to pay me for a new mattress? I feel like a punk doing it but really all I want is to get out of this lease. I already paid for this month and the last month (which was a security deposit).
