Re: lease agreement
Did you get her consent to your early termination of the lease in writing? If not, you are going to have a tough time proving that she consented to early termination of your lease. Good news is that there are limits on how much she can charge you for early termination (search other posts on this site for that info - its very long), but bad news is unless you have a written release, you are going to have a tough time fighting this one. Good luck.
