I have a problem... I signed a two year lease and a year and 1/2 into it decided to to buy a place and move. I told my landlord I wanted to move out. She agreed that I could move out and she would let me find someone to rent the apartment out for a year. Three weeks after I moved out she said she wanted to move back in 6 months and I could only rent the apartment out for six months. This obviously was impossible. She broke her agreement with me to let me rent the apartment out for a year so I believe I don't owe her all of the back rent. She never showed the apartment or tried to rent it out! Can someone tell me if she negated our original contract when she agreed to let me rent it out and then "changed her mind" Also, doesn't she have to try to rent the apartment out?
I'd love to hear from a lawyer.
Thanks.
