My fiance and I have decided to get married and I am planning on moving in with him. I have a lease on a shared apartment that has about 5 months left on it. My landlords are very nice and I think they would understand. However, I have a roommate who's guardians are his parents since he has mental health issues.
This roommate has caused me much grief from stealing my food to racking up $700 phone bills to waking me up yelling, screaming and throwing things around the apartment in fits of some weird emotion. Consequently, I have had to call the police on him twice. I have more then enough reason to leave but If I leave before the lease is over what possible penalty can I face? What's the most wise way I should speak to the owners and his parents?
I tried to hang in there with the apartment for financial reasons and I didn't know he was that disturbed but it's time to move on.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You should speak to his parents and then your landlord. What state are you in?
EDIT-here is a link you might find helpful. Good luck.

Speak to the landlord about the issues you are having, let him know that the police have been called and you do not think it's a safe environment for you to be in. For that reason alone he or she should understand your reasoning for breaking the lease. Next read your copy of the lease to see what the penalty is if you leave early or terminate the lease. Generally you forfeit your deposit but there might be more in the fine print so check it out to be safe. Good luck!

If you are party to the lease, you are obligated to honor it until its expiry date. Your best shot at getting out of this is to contact the roommate's parents, explaining that you desire to leave because of the situation. If they will assume full financial liability for the remainder of the lease, I do not see why the landlord would object.

you have replied maximum of your guy or woman questions via telling us what's stated interior the hire. a million. You did no longer provide written 60 day word. you comprehend you missed this and comprehend you will finally end up paying for this. 2. Your hire isn't up till would 3. you have a locked in value till that date. After that they should furnish you written word to extend it. You state your hire says 30 days, that's probable state regulation besides, so as that's what they needed to furnish you. the only question is the actuality they are asserting they emailed you. Have them tutor this. no longer via them mocking up an email they are asserting they sent. everybody can try this. Did they deliver it receipt required so as that they knew that you purchased it? Can they tutor they actually sent it? in the event that they're going to push on that, then I say you mock up an email to them with a 60 day word dated sixty 5 days earlier than would 3 and hand it to them. Emails are crap in this occasion except they might tutor the version they're featuring became into actually sent and not some thing they mocked up.

read the lease for an early out penalty clause. It may not be that much and it keeps you clean with the landlords!
