I currently have a lease with a roommate but I had to move out because she became jealous and ruined a lot of my clothes. I have found another person to cover my portion of the rent. The apartment complex she is and i was at, was income based. She immediatly offered me the apartment and filled out the applications once she saw my income. I am not even sure if she pulled a credit report. I told my roommate since I have found someone to move in and cover my rent, then she should sign me off the lease. But she is refusing to do that. That is the only way I can get out of the lease. I am planning on moving in with my fiance into a new place and we will be signing the lease together. What I need to know is if I do not tell them I am on another lease( I know this is unethical lying), is there a way for them to find out? As in, is it directly listed on my credit report that I am on another lease? If so, can I sign two leases?

She's right. Sign away but just know, if anything goes wrong, you will be spending a lot of time and money in court.

you should be fine signing another lease! no one can tell if your on another lease or not...the way this can be a problem for you is if your friend lets the rent go at the first apartment because they will still hold you responsible...you can always try to get the apartment complex to take your name off the lease and add the name of the person taking over your portion...all i know is you dont want it on your credit if ole girl gets evicted or something and your name is on there too!!

You can sign 2 leases, but know and understand you are responsible for the one you signed with your roomate. Your lease is not reflected on your credit report, however the inquiry that they did (if they did one) will probably show up and they may ask the question. The quesiton you have to ask yourself is can you afford to make both rent payments, and are you prepared to pay for possible damages, etc., for a place where you don't live but yet other people do, and they are not legally responsible for but you are?

I am a property manager and the answer is yes. Provided there isn't a clause in your lease prohibiting it. If you can afford to pay both then you are OK. If you want to save some money find a sublease for your previous apartment.

Sure you can. But if you do, you are legally liable for both leases. If the person covering your rent in the first place doesn't uphold their end of the bargain, you still have to pay.

I think you can sign 100 leases if you want as long as you pay on all of them.

go to your landlord for the first place with the person that is taking over. just have him take care of it. its not your roommates place to not let you off the lease.
