Need a roommate in Dec./Jan
Hey all,
My r/mate has informed me she's leaving in dec. after graduation. I need a r/mate ASAP to replace her when she leaves. Rent is 372.50 a month, utilities run about 70/month (electricity, phone, cable). Apt is in west end. Need someone dependable who pays their shit. Apt is huge. PM me for details or hit me up on aim: Badbeck2002. No gender preference, just osmeone who's willing to do their share and will have mutual respect sharing a place.
edit: btw, lease ends in may of 2004. so it'd only be about 5-6 months unless it works out so whoever wants to stay antoher year.

Contractual obligation if her name is on the lease. Subletting, if permitted by the lease, would require your consent as to the choice of roomate.
How this is handled is a sign of responsibility and maturity.

i know all this. i've been to court once w/ the other idiots i lived with. i have no prob with handling it maturely. its on her to be mature about it and take responsibility since she put her name on the lease w/o reading the terms. i dont want it to turn into some drama nightmare, but i'm afraid thats how it'll end up b/c she'll attempt to lay the blame on me in some fashion (i've already heard "i'ts not fair!" when she was informed about the 1500 fee to break it early).

Best option, as you are already taking steps towards, is finding your own choice of roommate. That does not mean that you should bear the full weight of finding someone or paying for any difference in rental fees. As you have mentioned to me offline, there is a substantial lease termination fee, which would be called into effect if your roommate wants to leave, and if no subletting is permitted.
Check with the rental office. They may be able to assist you in placing all utilities in your name (they have utility contact numbers and experience with this type of situation) and may even allow you to pay for only half of the rent and hold your roommate liable for the other half, although this is not very common.
Life's not fair. Breaking contracts have consequences. That's why many marriages have pre-nup's.
