General Discussion / Co-Signer Leaving Lease -- What are my rights?
« on: April 14, 2022, 12:03:20 pm »
Hi everyone!
I have a one-year lease with a co-signer/roommate for an apartment that ends in July. Our lease says that in July, we move to a month-to-month model. But my co-signer wants to leave the lease, and terminate the contract. I want to keep the apartment, but the landlord wants to make a new lease and raise the rent on the order of hundreds of dollars.
Is there any way I can prevent this from happening, while also allowing my roommate to get off the lease? I.e., I want to keep the contract that we currently have with its rent, but just 'cross out the name' of one of the signers. I don't have much hope that this is possible, but I'm wondering if maybe there's some kind of legal thing anyone knows of where that can / should happen ...
Thank you!
