Lease/landlord question

[fitz19d]

That last reply makes it almost sound like they were trying to be nice and have it fixed for when you got back but just fucked up on the notification. Or they just wanted it out of the way sooner than later. It's irritating. Renting always has headaches, and since it's so close to the end ya, I'd lean towards sliding since it's not worth the blowback. Unless you find stuff missing when you get back.

However, I will point out that in the metro area, rents are pretty high and its not difficult for a landlord to relet the premises in this market. So your downside is limited.

Yeah, this is what I was going to say.

With the high demand and sky-high rents in the metro area, I would think all you have to do is ask your landlord to let you out of the lease and he would probably be happy to do it, knowing that he could re-let it within hours, probably for a significantly greater monthly rental.

Just make sure you have a place to go if you do that.

And yes, I'd like to get out of the lease but there's only a few months left so I'll probably just let it ride.

Unfortunately, thats your best option imho. The other route is rather lenghty and depending how stubborn each side is, court isn't fun.
