Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois
How do I get out of a lease for an apartment that I am not living in?
My boyfriend I planned to move in together after a long relationship. We moved into an apartment complex and we both signed a one year standard lease. He himself has been paying the rent since we have moved in and continues to pay it now. I moved out a week ago and I will not be moving back in. How do I go about getting my name off the lease since I am no longer living there? I do not want to be held responsible if he decides to skip a month because we are no longer affiliated with one another...Please help.

Unless the Landlord will let you off the hook, you are stuck. This is one of the drawbacks of shacking up.

Hello. In my opinion, you
should write the landlord
and ask him if her or she
would be agreeable to your
name being deleted from the
lease. If this does not work,
you will probably have to
accept the fact that if your
ex-boyfriend doesn't pay the
rent, you and he could be
sued!!
