Question

Hey there, About 2 months ago, I signed a contract for a 2 bedroom apartment with another girl. Things didn't work out; I ended up moving back into my parents' house and surrendering my keys with a 30 days notice to end the lease. As the contract I signed states that I need my x-roommate's cooperation to break the contract, I am still waiting til my 30 days are up to see whether or not the contract was actually broken or if my name is XXXXX XX the lease. I guess my question is, can I enter into a new contract for a different apartment even if my name is XXXXX XX another lease? Thanks, HL

Accepted Answer

if you have no intention on moving back their is no issues, the only problem you have is potential liability to the first landlord if the cancelled lease is not accepted.

So I guess to re-phrase this: If the cancelled lease is not accepted and I am deemed liable for the first property lender's "damages" or whatever, am I still free to enter into a new contract on another apartment?
