I signed a lease to live in a two bedroom with my friend. Before we moved in, we had a large falling out. I do not want to live there (never really did). So I have talked to both the leasing office and her and I can transfer my half of the lease for $150. BUT I need my 'friend' to approve this roommate, according to the leasing office. My roommate is denying every single person I find and bring over.
I realized that she knows I am not going to skip out on the rent because I don't want an eviction on my record, and she is enjoying living alone, and upset with me. She can deny and deny until I have to pay for half of this place for one year, and that is exactly what she's has doing. It's already cost me over $700 and I'm not even living there, paying rent in two places now.
What can I do? I have absolutely NO leverage, she's in completely control and the leasing office is not helping at all. Please, I'm desperate to know if I have any legal rights here.
Is this for real? Can she really ride me out until the end of our lease like this?:angel
