"Shrowd"?

Is this AIM you guys are talking about? Because I haven't seen him on AIM all evening yesterday.

Okay, the whole "Sign off, sign back on, say something, sign off again" thing sucks when you can't think of anything.

Also queer, that he must be blocking/unblocking to achieve these sign ons/offs so quickly.

Anyone have an idea how to get Bloodomen to run well?

[quote="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Yeah, how did you leave them the extra month's rent?[/quote]

Most places have that little "rent drop" slot. I put it in there, under the shrowd of darkness, occasionally with cats waiting in the car, and then burn rubber outta there.

Leave no forwarding address.

Leave no trace.

Move as the wind.

So it looks like the answer for rental companies is "be reasonable, otherwise people leave and you get nothing."

Every place I've ever had a lease would let you out if a few things happened, namely new job elsewhere, change in marital status, family member death, or the like.

Then there was the place who wouldn't let me pro-rate an extra 2 weeks, so we left in the middle of the night without paying that month at all.

Yes, I never truly liked him either.

[quote="pinback"]In my experience, 95% of all places will let you break the lease if you pay them the "lease break fee", generally one month's rent. Only one place I've ever lived said, "Nope, you owe us the full amount, or else", and in that case, I just left 'em the extra month's rent and split town in the middle of the night. Either way works.[/quote]

Yeah, how did you leave them the extra month's rent?

It is HILARIOUS to me that they expect you there for all twelve months if, say, you want to bow out after four. Or, like yourself, one.

And I bet the people who work in rental offices have horrible views of renters. "How... how [i]dare[/i] they? They got a new job or bought a house or reached that horrible nadir of life and had to do it all in a different place and wanted a reasonable rent price which is totally why they signed up for a year and didn't let us gouge them month to month...?!! How [i]dare[/i] they?"

I just know that my relationship with my rental company is going to eventually be very, very poor. They just don't leave you any wiggle room.

[color=blue]IceCreamJonsey:[/color] Hey, how did you get out of your lease that I see you had at Mango Bay?
[color=blue]IceCreamJonsey:[/color] I mean, I have never seen a lease that gives you any way to do it.
[color=blue]IceCreamJonsey:[/color] Mine all say, "You can never leave if you sign a year lease, so don't even think about it." Money is never even mentioned because it's such a ridiculous concept.
