Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[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.
First, P-C I'm sorry all this has happened, but I know you will handle it well.
I'm just dropping in to say that my mom, Ellie, and I are headed to Raleigh because the bar exam starts tomorrow. Vortex was right - I still want to pass, but mostly I just want this test OVER!!
eta: I'm also ignoring the leasing conversation because I don't want any MI law to get mixed up with my NC law.
I may be online some, but I won't be home until it's all over. Wish me luck! (actually, wish me good recall and no surprises)
Once the landlord signs a lease with someone else through the end of your lease, you are no longer responsible for the lease.
Huh. Is this actually the same as subletting? Because usually if you find someone to sublet from you, and they flake out and don't pay or something, then you are still responsible for the unpaid rent.

Not to my understanding -- subletting is a relationship with you. Re-leasing is a relationship with the landlord.

Good recall and no surprises!

No. Well. Per that link, there's one type of subletting, where you find the new renter, but then the landlord transfers the lease to the new renter. Then there's the type you're talking about, where you, the original renter, are responsible. Then there's breaking a lease. When you break a lease, it is in cooperation with your landlord, who advertises the apartment, and if he can rent it out for the same he's renting it to you, he lets you out of your lease, and just gives a new lease to the new tenant. If he can only rent it out for less, or if there's a gap between your tenancy and the next guy's, you are paying the difference, so the landlord doesn't lose out.
Not to my understanding -- subletting is a relationship with you. Re-leasing is a relationship with the landlord.
Hmm. It seems that if you're pretty confident the landlord can find someone to replace you, that you're better off not even finding someone to sublet, because if the landlord finds someone then you're completely off the hook.
eta: somewhat x-posty....

True. But if you can find someone to sign a new lease, you're best off.
I have memories of those roads. Not fond, but memories. Of the crack-addled roads of Sorrento.
Yes! And for the fact that there's been Massive Construction in one form or another going for how-many-years-now, and yet nothing has improved (or, as far as I can tell, even changed)! If not for the fact that it's 15-ish minutes from home, with zero-freeway needage...
So it's the entire Valley, not just the USPS...interesting.
Good luck + good recall - nasty surprises = -ma for Stephanie
Recall~ma and getting-it-over-with ~ma, Stephanie!
I think you're fine to continue the lease without worrying too much about what to do if and when you need to break it.
I agree. Plus, as everyone had already noted, there's lot and lots of good advice here. As hard as this, you may have reached critical mass when it comes to living your life independently. You can love them, you can be a part of the family, but you *don't* have to let them make decisions for you because you're afraid to hurt them. Remember, it's *their* decision to hurt or not, to support you or not. As everyone said, their actions and reactions are *their* responsibility.
All kinds of ~ma and punctuation, P-C.
