Postby didkapitka » Sat Dec 13, 2008 4:06 pm

I am single mom with 2 years old child. I would like to move out of the apartment but I have a contract for a year. So far I live there just two months. How I can terminate the lease? My LL is asking me to pay till the entire term of the contract. :x I am not american citizen and I dont know the laws in NY State. :?: He wants to give me to the court. I thing he use that and he want to scare me. :shock:
Please advise me what to do.Thank you in advance.

A contract / lease signed by you would be, more likely than not, binding. But if English is not your native language it would seem possible that you did not fully understand the language and terms of the lease (contract) when you signed it.

Have you tried to explain the full situation to your Landlord?
