Whatcan i do with my lease?

Question

Now, i know this might sound stupid, but i want to be sure because when i read my apt lease contract it didnt really mention this.....

I moved out of my apartment because my roommate is impossible to live with at least in my eyes. I know i have the right to find somebody to replace myself on the lease, but does she have any say in it at all legally?

I was going to put an add in the paper and then whoever called me, interview them and if i think they are alright (and have the money to do it) have them fill out the application for the apartment. Just so i know she isnt going to have a murdering kinda person for a roommate, you know what i mean?

Answer 1

my friend was in this same boat and ended up getting a person he knew would drive the old "bad" roommate bonkers. there's always some sort of payback. get out while you still can, but don't work too hard. now if you didn't want to look for someone you can put the add in the paper and tell your ex roomie to interview them that way she knows who she will be living with. that way you don't have to deal with it and she will get someone who might just be able to deal with her.

Most good landlords understand that sometimes roommates don't work out and will usually let one find a replacement. the landlord might want proof for example that this new person can pay for the amount of rent or has good credit.

Answer 2

My lease clearing says no sub-leasing.

In Arizona both parties have to sign a room mate release form.

One says they are leaving and the other takes over the lease.

All new parties to a lease must pass MY credit and background check.

By moving out you have left yourself open to many legal issues that could cost you money and your credit.

People need to think before they break a lease.

It is not a game, it is not funny and you cannot hide.

Answer 3

that'll work, as long as she fills out the forms

Answer 4

First, you don't have the "right," as you put it, to replace yourself on the contract.

If the landlord is willing to release you from the contract, that is fine, but you can't find another tenant yourself, as that is considered sub-leasing the property. Most likely that is prohibited. It is on our contracts.

If the landlord releases you from the contract, which is unlikely, though not unheard of, it is up to your ex-roommate to determine who they want to lease the property with, not you.

You don't have to reside at the property to be held to the covenants of the lease. Should your ex-roommate fail to pay the rent, or destroys the property in your absence, then you can be held equally responsible for the rent and damages.
