Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Kansas

I was wondering if there is anyway I could break an apt contract without having to pay. I signed a contract with a fellow acquaintance that would began this past August. A few weeks before moving in I discovered my dad who at the time was paying my school was not able to pay for my next semester so I decided to move to another town and attend the community college because it would be cheaper for me. The contract is by the unit not by the bed so both of us have to be in agreement of who can move un. I never moved in but I have been paying rent until now. I currently do not have a job so my father has been paying both rent the one here and the one in the town I moved away from. My father will not pay for my other rent due to him not being able to. My questions are can I be sent to collections by the apartment complex even though I never moved in and can I get sued for damages by the acquaintance who I was going to move in with?

Based upon the facts you alleged, you remain liable to your proposed roommate and landlord. If y

The roommate vetoes a satisfactory subtenant, you can avoid future obligations to them. You might have an attorney examine your lease agreement to see if there is an option, other than sub tenancy, to consider.

Good luck
