My lease is up at the end of April, but I went looking last night with some perspective roommates, and we found a kick ass house, but it may only be available April 1st.
My question is, has anyone ever broken their lease, and what is the deal with damage deposits and such? I heard a rumour that if you break your lease, you lose the damage deposit, but if they rent out the appartment right away, you get your deposit back.
I currently pay $599 a month, and I have a $400 damage deposit. The new place is $700 split between 3 (about $235 each), and a $700 damage deposit (again, $235).
If I ditch out, and lose my damage deposit, I save just over $100, but there's just the idea of technically losing $400 that doesn't sit well with me. Just trying to see if it's worthwhile to get out and get into this place sooner.
