I read about your real estate woes below and truly feel for you.  However, what her landlord is doing is perfectly legal (I am in real estate).  It is used to protect their asset (the property) from people signing year long leases and up and moving midway through for any reason.  Unless she has a legal reason for leaving the premises (dispute on repairs, dispute with tenants, joining the military) she can be forced to buy-out her lease.  Some landlords are very fair and will work with tenants especially if they are purchasing a home, but some landlords follow the letter of the lease.

I do hope it all works out.  Maybe she could sub-let her apartment if her lease and landlord allow.

Good luck!!!

  • Thanks girl.

    I even called the complex (just played dumb) and the only stipulations they listed for me if you broke your lease was 60 days notice, forfieting your sec dep and one months rent.  The thing is they have a waiting list a mile long (b/c it's in Buckhead, highly sought after area in ATL) so it's ridiculous!!!!  It's not like they couldn't help out everyone in this situation.  They won't be losing money here.

    It's weird, I used to rent all the time b/f I bought a house in ATL and NEVER heard of this and ALWAYS read my agreement fully.

    My agent is looking into it w/their lawyer and having the other agent (buyer's) look at the buyer's lease as well.

    Just crossing my fingers.

    Thanks for the info though.

    Hope you're doing well!!!!
