Question: Question regarding leases? Gf and I and a friend moved into a apartment and signed a lease. Besides the fact her and I didn't work out, how do I go about getting dropped from the lease. And will I have to pay any penalties? They are going to continue living there, i am just going to move out because we broke up. Anyone with some knowledge  enlighten me?

Answer: You are most likely gonna get stuck paying til the lease is over even if you move. Unless they are civil and both decide to pay half and let you leave. As far as the landlord, probably won't care as long as their still getting paid. I would get all agreements in writing and have all parties sign. Just so no problems occur down the line. You don't want to be livin' it up with a new girl and have the ex decide she's bitter.
