We need to break our lease. We have a $1,400 lease breaking option; however, we can't pay that all upfront or we can vacate the apartment and we are responsible for the rent until a new tentant can be found. However, we can't pay rent at two places. We understand that this will go on our credit report, but can they charge us the entire amount of the remaining lease or just the breaking amount if we agree to pay in installments?
Also, does breaking a lease and eviviction look the same on your report?
Our cars were hit and vandialize by a drunk driver that lives here and 8 other cars have been broken into and a girl was attacked. We have a 6 week old baby and we really feel unsafe. Is there some way to use that to break the lease?
The police told the apartment that they need to provide better lighting and get some type of security.
Thanks
