Hi there,
I withdrew from school and spoke with the landlord about having someone take over my lease. The landlord said I could find someone, but that the roommate needs to o.k. it.
(The lease is Aug.31, '08 - Aug. 31st, '09) I live in san diego, ca.
Well I found someone qualified, but the roommate said no because the applicant is a 21 year old student. I've been looking for a week and found only 1 person interested in taking over my lease.
We live near a university, but my roommate doesn't want to live with a student now.
She could spend weeks or months looking for a roommate to be "best friends" with and I would have to continue paying rent each month despite having moved back home.
She is looking for a roomie who's over 30 and she can be friends with. I am looking for someone responsible who can pay rent on time.
1) So can the roommate have all the say in choosing the next tenant?
2) Should I consult an attorney if the roommate isn't being reasonable?
3) What's a reasonable amount of time to find a roommate?
