Everyone i know says she is trouble and I dont have to pay Aug bc i never signed anything. they say to get out asap bc she is trouble she lies all the time. she isnt a good friend. Should i pay aug or leave asap?please help

Answer 1

i think you should get out of that problem ur in...

just leave and you'll be perflectly fine...

Answer 2

definitely get out

if you are low on money why pay something you shouldnt have too?

and drop her if she was your friend she wouldnt treat you like that

Answer 3

It doesn't sound like you gave her a deposit. If you didn't, why would you stay?

Move out on the last day of July and live out the time you've paid for.  

If she's asked for 30 days notice and you gave her that, you've operated fairly with  her.

Move on.

Answer 4

If you tendered your notice in writing, did you keep a copy?  If not, write her another immediately and state this is to follow up your notice given (enter the date you gave notice) and sned it to her certified, return receipt.  If you kept a copy, include it with the same follow up note. Then get out.  Take nothing that doesn't belong to you, so if there are any shared items, be careful.  Get your stuff out even if you can't leave immediately, especially things you need or don't want to lose.  And if your name is on any utilities, take it off now!

Then count this as experience, never to be repeated.  Always. . . . ALWAYS . . . even between friends, get your arrangements in writing, including what happens if things go badly.

Answer 5

It's nice to look out for other people's interests, but you have to put yourself first.  You should know that this will ruin that friendship, but I assume that it is already lost.  If you can't afford the place, you can't afford it, and that's the bottom line.  if you haven't signed anything, then you can't be held responsible for being binded to it.  It's unfortunate that you didn't give your notice in writing, because now you can't prove that you gave notice.  If you feel that you must give 30 days notice, give it today, then pay for only up to the 16th of next month.  To do that, take your montly rent, and divide by 30, then mulitply that by 17.

Answer 6

I would recommend that you do exactly what they ask, that is the 30 days notice and paying your rent in full.  However, make sure you get everything in writing.  Submit your 30 days notice in writing and make sure you sign it and keep a copy.  Then pay what rent you owe.  Make sure that you draw up a document stating that you owe nothing more and get it signed by your roommate or whoever is the leaseholder.  DO NOT be wimpy about this!  If you do, you risk being bitten in the behind at some point in the future.  We live in a litigious society and you have to be careful.  On a personal note, I am sorry that things are not working out well for you.  Keep your chin up and move on as there are better days on the horizon.
