Marion, I never knew about them paying me to leave, that’s cool. I am not counting on getting my deposit back that’s why I’m counting it as my February rent, after Feb I will not have a deposit. I phoned them, e-mailed them and told their realtor my terms which is fair. They didn’t respond so assume it is acceptable, if not I’d love for them to try and haul me into a court, I’ve held back 80% of this nightmare and would love to tell it to a judge. I am a man who pays his way, I don’t want to live rent free, just know who to pay and when to plan on leaving. I’d also like to protect myself from losing money. I like HLS’s advice on negotiating a new price once the lease expires, they are pocketing it anyway and won’t be able to rent it out.
