My husband and I broke our lease one year ago due to unsafe living environment. Our car was broken into on the premises. Being pregnant and coming home from work late at night a male was being arrested. I had to be escorted to my apartment. Other tenants homes were broken into and finding mold in our closet. We gave a thirty day notice and payed $905 for the month we had lived there but ended up moving two weeks earlier.We were asked to pay a termination fee of $1810 but felt that because of the above circumstances we were not obligated to pay that fee. Our lease was broken april 16,2005 and was bound to us until september 30,2005. due to our departure of our apartment it was rented out two weeks later. We did not receive our deposit back of $442.50 and our now being asked to pay $515.76. we feel that our obligation to our apartment was fulfilled. Due you feel that we are obligated to pay the $515.76? |

Depending on jurisdiction (where ya at?), a landlord could reasonably expect to be compensated for the time the apartment is empty and marginal costs incurred renting it. The landlord would be expected to be diligent in finding a tenant. A total of $958 sounds reasonable to flip an apartment, between the two weeks empty, cleaing costs, advertising, etc. You do not make clear when the apartment was rented, saying, "Our lease was broken April 16, 2005," and "we gave a thirty day notice and... ended up moving two weeks earlier" and "due to our departure of our apartment it was rented out two weeks later." It seems you paid for the month of April and left on 16 April, correct? If so, was the apartment rented on 1 May 2005 or was it about 15 May 2005? |

we paid for the month of april correct and left april 16 given them two weeks of paid rent to find a tentent. The apartment was rented out on may 1,2005. so if I'm correct they can not recieve double rent. I had complecations with my pregnacy do you think it could come from the mold that we found in our closet? |

The mold question is totally separate from the lease question you have asked above. |
