Further information: Landlord asked us to HELP find a new tenant to move in when our lease expires. She said she'd rather do it that way because we have a dog, who cannot be in the apartment when people come to see it because of the biting risk.
Now she's claiming that we accepted FULL responsibility to find a new tenant, that she did it this way to help us. We thought we were doing HER a favor, not the other way around.
She claims that if we do not find a tenant, we will have to pay rent until someone moves in.
Before this, she agreed to extend our lease (originally ending this Friday, June 30th) through August 15, because that's when our next place is available. Now she is saying that she will not honor that if we do not agree to take FULL responsibility to find a new tenant. Can she do this? We live in Virginia. Printable resources are of the utmost importance. Thanks for your help.
