Holy shite. I couldn’t imagine paying that every month for something I will never own.
Plenty of folks here have spent more than the equivalent (now or back in the day) to temporarily “own” women. Not talking about straight-up prostitution, but on meals, entertainment, trips, etc.

I’d change professions if I were you. You sound like someone that would advise clients to cheat on taxes and tell them it’s okay, the government never comes after tax money


He works at H&R Block. He didn’t even know about duties and hours for a new associate at one of the Big 4 LINK

He also keeps talking about “jurisdiction.” The jurisdiction is where the suit would be filed and what court would hear the case. But he is talking about getting served. People get served out of state all the time.

He also doesn’t understand how easy it is to locate someone that has moved. Because he has apparently never heard of LexisNexis. Anyone with access will be able to find the OPs address with 3 clicks of the mouse.

I am paying $2,900 a month right now. The lease says you are bound to the terms agreed upon and has no clause for breaking the lease....like most leases with large apartments. So if they keep the deposit (which I think they will) they basically will get $9,000 for me to leave...I am not paying that.



Then maybe you shouldn't break your fricking lease.

You signed a contract. Abide by it.

I'm not an attorney at all.

His attitude dictates his actions, and his actions dictate what they're going to do. I didn't realize that chain of causation was going to be so difficult to understand.

The Chinese spammers and games coin sellers use the mail address to Chinese National Landmarks when they register the websites through GoDaddy (GoDaddy is well aware that they are enabling consumer ripoff, it’s part of the business strategy).

Just look up the address for Mt Rushmore and give them that. Use the move to leave EVERYTHING behind you don’t want. Only update your real address with enterprises YOU wish to interact with. Leave no forwarding address with the USPO.

Most states have provided an out for breaking lease with a job transfer in the laws. I have never had a landlord pursue the lease when I moved. Good luck to any trying to collect on an out of state lease breakers.

And you more than likely forfeit the deposit. Can’t be applied towards anything on a skip for every company I’ve worked for. Doesn’t matter. This is a made up issue for a made up person.

Be a man and go talk to them. Negotiate. Be reasonable and understanding. Calmly explain your side and ask for what you think is fair.

I did this for my girlfriend - I wasn't even on the lease. It was her apartment. I went in the office and introduced myself to the leasing mgr and negotiated a fair deal with them to get her out of her lease.

Don't walk in with an attitude. Just sit down and politely say I really need your help.

Go to Home depot and buy a mold test kit. Follow the instructions and send it off to be read.

Pray for some toxic mold results.

Share positive results with you landlord.

They will gladly release you from your lease obligations.

Mold is gold!

the landlord can sue you in the location where the apartment is, then attempt to serve you via certified mail at the address you gave them. Refused mail is proof of service. I also send a copy of the citation via regular mail 14 days later. Landlord goes into court to show where you gave this address, then did not sign for certified mail when sent to that address. Also, shows the regular mail is not returned. This is treated as actual service, and if you didn't file an answer, default judgment is granted. Louisiana judgments are good for 10 years and can be revived forever in 10 year blocks. If the address is bogus, the landlord can ask the court to appoint an attorney to represent the absentee, that attorney will mail letters and and put whereabouts advertisments in the newspaper, then report that he cannot find you. Service on the attorney is treated as good service, default is granted. See info on judgments above. They will find you. if your new employer has a louisiana office, the landlord can do garnishment here regardless of where you live. If not, they can send the judgment to your state, hire an attorney to make it executory there and start garnishment there. Every time they do anything, attorney fees and costs are added. Judgments currently earn 8.75% interest, so you have turned into a pretty good investment. Regret ensues.

He can run, but he cannot hide is what you're saying.

My question is why does he believe he can break the lease and should not have to pay anything?

Because I'm in New York City and they flip these apartments in a week. I can't justify paying that type of money, nor can I really afford it, when they can just re-rent the place in a week. Small claims cap in NY is $5k and I'm hoping they wont go through the trouble for 5k.

If that’s the case then you are good. Landlords have to show good faith effort in leasing it and prove that in court to recoup money

In many states they have a duty to mitigate damages so them re-renting would cover their losses and they rightfully have a de minimum amount to sue for. But S9me would still sue you for the entire value of the lease.
