I just moved out of a 3 bedroom apt. with one roomate, leaving 2 behind. We have found people to replace us on the lease and but the married couple living in the master br wont sign papers allowing names to be switched.
I've already started paying rent on my new place and cant afford 2 rents. The complex wont allow sublets either.
The couple (they moved from china a month ago, so communication is hard) want 2 girls who will be taking my room to pay more since there are two people. They actually refuse to let them on the lease if they wont add $20 on to the rent so as to reduce the rent for the master bedroom, which is underpriced in the first place.
What can I do? To terminate the lease, the price is $2000. Would that be per occupant or per apartment, (so it would be $500 each rather than $2000?) They claim the $20 is for the principle of the matter and wont take the amount from us, (though we offered to pay them) only the new people, based on the moral of the matter.
Please help!
