I had a lease from April 2014-April 2015....moved out of the apartment on November 15th after making agreement with the landlord that it was ok. She knew we had ongoing issues there and told me, all in writing, that I could leave by the end of December BUT NO LATER, and that she was going to start showing it asap.

I have everything in writing through text messages and email...including one that said "you can break the lease no problem".

I would assume that if she tried to come after me for the balance of the lease, I am covered since I have in writing that she was fine with it, and that she wanted us out by the end of December (which we abided by)...what do you guys think?

I know no one has moved in it yet...so I am concerned

What do the messages say exactly? Does it say, "You can break the lease in December, penalty free"? Or, "You can break the lease in December, but you're still going to owe me rent until I can find someone else to rent the unit."?

It said "you can break the lease no problem", and "you can stay until the end of December but no later"

Also that she would like to remain friends

If she hasn't said or done anything to indicate she might come after you (which she hasn't from what I can see) then why are you so worried about this? Worrying about it isn't going to change anything at this point anyway...so just let it go until if/when something does happen which is most likely never.

i agree. If she said she would like to remain friends, etc then i don't feel like she will *********. Stop creating those negative thoughts or else they will become a reality...

If one's apartment can be rented out easily then some landlords will allow a lease to be broken without penalty. So this might be case here.

She mentioned it being empty because people don't like to rent during the holidays.

You're right, I just tend to be a bit paranoid
