Room mate refuses to sign me off of the lease

[irohol15]

I moved in with 2 room mates, Mr A and Mr B in October as an add on to the lease for a 3 bedroom apartment. I started having issues with Mr B and his behavior by December due to him threatening other females and I, not doing chores, and causing almost every mess we had in the apartment. Back in February, Mr B and I had an argument, and later on, Mr A and I talked about what would happen in the next few months. I stated that I wanted to move out by my birthday, May 15th. He assumed that I literally meant on my birthday and would be moving out in the middle of the month.

On March 31st, I gave them my 30 days notice. I legally only had to give them 20 days notice, but was trying to be nice and give them an extra few days. Now he is refusing to sign me off of the lease because he thought I would be leaving May 15th, not April 30th. I have paid every bill I have in the apartment and have made sure that I have no financial ties to would make him not sign. The office has stated that until I am signed off of the lease, I am still needing to pay for my part. What should I do? Have I done anything wrong? Should I take this to court?

If you want out, make a deal.

Going to court will only prolong this.

Why not offer to pay for all of May, if they sign you off now?

You gotta give something to get something.

But, get it all in writing, and don't pay until after you witness the signing ceremony!!!

Make it easy in yourself, because they don't have to agree to et you out of the lease.

Make a deal, just make a deal.

I have made multiple deals, from being out of the house when Mr B is there to prolonging until Spring Quarter(we're college students), which began this month. I have the agreement to staying until Spring Quarter as a Facebook message between Mr A and I. I have sacrificed my safety for 2 months in order to give them extra time. I need to get away from Mr B, and Mr A understands my issues, but is still not signing the lease. I'm afraid that it I agree to paying May, he will assume I can be pushed over into June, then July, then August.

The nature of a lease is that you can't just walk on it. Why do you think you have a 20 day notice out? Do you have some other written agreement? If you do not, your reasons are not sufficient to break a lease, they sound annoying but I don't think you are truly threatened.

If you are threatened then this becomes easy: Call the police. If you are not threatened enough to do that then you don't have a reason to break the lease. You see what I mean?

Good luck, I don't think you have grounds to get out of your lease unless you have some roommate agreement that you can enforce. Tell me more.
