My mom told them to terminate my lease,
P-C, you're over 21 -- she can't legally do that.
River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are. Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, P-C, that sucks mightily. Do you want to stay in your apt. a bit longer? If so, can you contact the landlord and stay?

Zikes, P-C. Much emergency job-ma to you.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Can't you tell the realtor that you did not give your mom permission to do this?
Yes, I can.

No more phone numbers for P-C's Mom! Parenting foul!

Seriously, P-C, whose name is on the lease? Yours? (Because I know some college students' parents sign their kids' leases, since they're paying for them.) If her name isn't on the lease, it doesn't matter that she's your parent. She'd have to have power of attorney to tell your landlord to terminate your lease.

Ann, that's a ferret.
P-C, are your parents on the lease? Because I have trouble believing that a third party can terminate a lease like that.
Also, traditionally, contracts transferring an interest in real estate (for example, renting an apartment) had to be written. (Long story, taking up substantial portions of first-year Property classes in law schools nationwide -- it's called the Statute of Frauds, and it dates back to when ownership of land meant a whole lot more, class-wise, than it does today.) I wonder whether someone could terminate such a contract based on someone's oral statement.
Warning: Property law is a state-by-state thing. Your state may vary. If you really want to push this, the law school at your university probably has a legal clinic.

Mine. My dad is a co-signer, I'm pretty sure. But I have to give permission for it to actually happen, so that's not the real issue.
Sunil,
I have spoken with your Mom regarding terminating your lease, which is fine. I do need a couple of things. First, your move out date will be 8/18, 5:00 PM. I also need for you to reply with permission to void your lease. I will then send you a copy of that. Thanks Deb
The real issue is my parents making my decisions for me yet again. And the fact that I don't know when I will need to terminate my lease, once I get a job, which may be soon and may be not soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's craziness, P-C. I'm not sure I'm understanding your post - your realtor is asking you for permission to go ahead and terminate the lease, right? You aren't about to be homeless, just mad at yoru mom?
I'm asking for clarification, not to minimize the issue. That was way overstepping the line, whether it was effective or not.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Was that note from the realtor the first you heard about it?
If so, your folks need a serious clue-sticking.
