Thanks for the research and support, you guys. Can we still sue for our deposit if we are breaking our lease? We did give them 60 days' notice, but I don't know if that's enough to put us on firm legal footing. I can't research right now, due to having actual work to do today.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Robin, this page -- [link] -- down under the section "No Legal Reason" makes it sound as though you can still get your security deposit back even if you broke your lease.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Security deposits are completely separate from rent money. I was stiffed because I'd paid first and last months up front, or something.

Gloomcookie, you are SUPER sugar!
So, so true.
Craziness on the deposit, Robin. I'll defer to the actual regulations, but California law tends to be very much on the side of the tenant.

GC is indeed super sugar!
Aimee, I don't know where you get the energy! (if it's drugs, let me know what kind, please)
When I leave my current apartment, I'm sure I'll get dinged on the security deposit - the place is falling apart (in some places literally).
And I'd heard about using toothpaste on CSI! (see - TV IS educational!)

T e-mailed me today to tell me what the nephews were wearing for Halloween tonight, and I ended up crying in the mall parking lot. It's T's birthday tomorrow, and I miss them all so much. So, I went to Mom's school because I figured seeing all of the kindergarteners in their Halloween costumes would cheer me up, which it did. There was the cutest Jack Sparrow.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Pure, unadulterated determination.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Pure, unadulterated determination.
Man, I was hoping for drugs. I don't think they write prescriptions for this "determination" stuff.

If they do, you know insurance won't cover it. Not 'til it comes in generic.
