Legal Question in Real Estate Law in South Carolina
Removal From Lease/Termination
Are there any legal documents that can prove removal from a lease besides a roomate release form that can hold up in court, i.e signed letter from roomates, etc...

Re: Removal From Lease/Termination
A roommate would not have legal authority to release a co-renter from the primary lease. This would have to come from the landlord.
However, if the co-renter were subleasing(with
the landlord's approval), such release could be given from the roommate who was on the primary lease, and, yes, a letter to that effect should
normally constitute sufficent proof that such release was properly given.
