The Lease

I called to get out of our lease yesterday and found out we can't. The apartment was pretty shady about the whole thing (of course). She told me we would have to wait until we had been into our lease for 6 months before even being able to give the required 60 day notice. Well, that's impossible since we only have a 7 month lease. The most irritating thing is that Brett specifically asked about this, knowing our situation and a possible move at any time. They said we could buy out of our lease with one month's rent at any time. But then apparently we signed something saying otherwise. We went over what we were signing with the people in the leasing office, but apparently they translated or summarized it incorrectly. I guess we were a little too trustworthy... yet another reason moving to a small community where everyone knows everyone is nice. It makes it a lot more difficult for stuff like this to fly. So Brett is going to call and call and see if they get sick of him and will let us out of the lease. If not, we will have to continue to pay through January. It's not horrible and we should be fine, but it sure would have been nice to use that extra money each month on fixing up the house.
