Check your lease and the conditions on it.

bang the landlord then break up with him.

if they evict you they would take your security deposit as payment for that months rent etc. or anyhting you owe to them for bills/repairs

You need to check cuz the last place I rented from could/would make me pay the rent until either my lease is up or another renter moves in.

security deposit is only $100 not really that big of a deal to me.. and the landlord is a 300lb lady ill pass on that part

Well here in cali if u get evicted u still gotta pay remaining months otherwise they send u to collections... That happened to my girl cut her hours moved in with me she gave them notice to the apt... But eventually they called her before they went to collections so I had to help her pay the rest even though she didn't live there anymore but check it out and gl finding a job..

To get out of your lease you need to review the lease and see what it calls for. However, if they dont have an "out" clause and there isnt a constructive eviction you will likely not have a way out that doesnt excuse you from paying rent until the end of the lease term.

There are too many variables without seeing the lease itself.

You may be able to buy out of it, mine is 60 days notice and one months rent, check your lease.

sooo.....if it was a 300lb man that would have been ok?

Join the military and show them your papers, they have to break the lease lol

Tell her your financial situation has changed and you need to leave. Work out a deal.

Chances are you will be hosed, i know in certain states you have to give a 30 day notice to give the landlord a chance to find a replacement unless you have one in the works already, and if that fails you pay the last months rent. I went through that in January when i left the military. The chances of you working a deal are going to be slim, and if you do get anything make certain it is in writing, you do not want to be looking like a fool on Judge Judy

Most of the time if you find someone to replace you, they let you out. But you have to get the person, not their job.

this is the case at the apartment complex I work at. Only way out of a lease is military or death. Or find someone to rent the place so then your off the hook.
