dealing with rented apt complexes

Hi chmartinbaby06
Welcome to the forums

The amount of money that you will pay will depend on the agreement between you and the landlord. If the agreement provides that you will have to pay the full rent then you are bound to pay off the full rent. In case if the agreement provides that you have to pay the rent for the period you are acquiring the flat then you are no longer required to pay the rent.


So everything regarding payment of rent depends on the agreement that you have entered into. You can also take the help of any legal professional if the need so arise.

Hope to hear from you soon

i understand everything that you are saying peter but i thuoght when they move someone in after you leave you are only required to pay the amount until the apartment is occupied well thanx so much

Well...technically what you did was skip out on your contract. Somwhere it'll state you have to give 30 days notice. Most places will let you back out of your rent if you pay 1 1/2 times the amount of rent. I forget what the actual term is.

Sometimes this will even apply if you are subleting the apartment and don't plan on coming back.

If you leave, and you broke a contract, they are allowed to go after you for the entire lease..whatever it maybe. It could 9 months of rent that you owe them.

In any case, if you did break the lease, you might be able to get out of it, by doing the 1 1/2 months rent.

Consult with an attorney if this is on your credit report. If the attorney is unfamiliar with the term (they shouldn't be) I can look it up for you.

Well, here's a situation I've been in before.
I was about $2000 late in rent and i went to court twice. The complex tried to say I owed close to $4000 for fees that really didn't apply to me. I got evicted, and that should have been the end of it.
The court told me that I only owe them the $2000 and that's that. So basically, you gotta pay what the court says you have to pay unless you can argue it with evidence. You only pay for the time YOU occupied, though.

Hmm...I guess it varies by state. I know in Michigan & Oklahoma, if you break a lease by default, you will be ordered to pay the remaining lease. Sometimes you can get out of this, sometimes you can't.

You would have to check with the state.

And if you end up going to court, you actually only pay what the court tells you.

I also know that in Florida if you break a lease and you rented the apartment on special you are also required to pay back the special in addition to the remainder of the lease. Sometimes it will state in the lease agreement that if they are able to re rent the apt then you would pay up until they rented the apt again.

thank you guys for all the help in what was said about the rent i am gonna see how i can start paying them cause it messes me up in the long run when im trying to get an apartment
