Nikki | Getting out of an apartment lease......? |
Ok I need to know if there are any quirks to getting out of an apartment lease besides causing yourself to be evicted (which is not an option for me) and paying rent till the lease is up! The place I was living at is a total dump (still on the lease there)! I lived there for a short period of time... It is overpriced, ghetto, I had bugs, we had a fire in the underground parking garage, issues with the hot water heater, drug dealers, etc! Its been a total mess! My bf and I were both living there and now we both stay at my moms and he pays rent there still because we cant get out of the lease! The apartment managers are crooks... They will keep your deposit no matter what and try to claim that they lost your resignation letter! Ive tried contacting a lawyer for a free consultation and they told me Im more or less stuck! I just dont want to accept that as my only option since that place is a scam and a sh*thole! So anyone have an words of wisdom for my situation? |

1) Find another renter
2) Ask your landlord if you can get out of the lease.
3) Complain to the landlord that your living situation is 'unaccpetable.'
4) Send a letter about the complaint to your landlord certified mail
5) Tell your landlord that you will be moving out if the situation isn't resolved.
6) More than likely, if you ahve a 1 year lease and have lived there for more than 6 months...he/she will let you out of the lease or simply not pursue charges due to the fact tha tit would cost at least that in lawyer fees. If you move out...take plenty of pictures so that you can show how bad it was to get the judge on your side of the case. |

Since you've already received legal advice, there's no sense in adding anything that you havn't already heard.
BTW, if there's any reason to think that they will "lose" any correspondence, send it by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. |

Send a certified letter of complaint regarding all the things that are wrong, send a certified copy to Health Department and check with your city about tenants rights. Take photos and include these in your certified letters to everyone. Contact everyone and in your letter to the landlords request full repairs or your deposit back in full, give them options so that it looks like you want to stay. Remember, "Draw more bees to honey with sweetness than with vinagar! Good Luck |

Double check the lease agreement. Make sure they are living up to their end of the agreement. If they are failing to do their part you should be able to slide out.
The problem is most lease agreements are all about you and rent and they do not contain much information on what the landlords/managers are resposible for.
Make sure that you research the next neighborhood before you move in. The last place I moved to I actually went to a couple of houses near the building and spoke with the owners. Ask questions about the area and specifically if there are problems they have noticed with the apartments. Good luck to you, hopefully things work out!! |

The only thing I can think of is: If they have rented the apartment out to new tenants, they can no longer charge you rent. Your lease most likely said if you left before the lease was up, you were responsible for rent until the apartment was leased again.
Good luck! |

1. Check the lease to see what it will cost you to move out early. It may cost a lot less than to pay rent through the end of the lease.
2. Submit requests for repairs and service (bugs, water, trouble with neighbors) in writing. If nothing is done about them, then they are not upholding their end of the lease agreement and, thus, you get out of it free. Check with city hall or the local housing bureau (or similar agency) to see what steps you need to take to get out of your lease in this manner (if you have a justifiable reason).
Most likely, there is a loss of deposit and additional fee detailed for ending your lease early. Just read your lease and do what it says. Also, try to find something obscure in there that they aren't doing right. |

You should go through the lease with a fine-tooth comb and see if there are any conditions (fire, bugs, etc.) that would allow you to break the lease. The next thing you should do is have documentation proving all the unacceptable conditions in the apartment. Is there any agency that governs companies/property owners in your area? If there is, I would contact them and see if there is any help they can give you. Another thing I would do is send the managers and even the owners of the property a certified letter with your concerns and documentation. This way, they will sign for the letter and you will have proof they received it. Good luck! |

If you quit paying the rent and terminate your lease, you MIGHT have to pay through the end of the lease, but they must make efforts to re-rent the place and thus end your losses. |
