I SAW the legal tenant's lease, they are exactly the same.
The reason the gf moved the first time is because the LL and her had a screaming match over her trashing the grounds. Not the LL's fault she moved back in. I know he doesn't want her here either, but he doesn't want to deal with the eviction process. I get that. But I'm having to hear their bs, 12-16 hrs most days. What's inconvenient and expensive for him, is miserable for me, and it is effecting my health.
Lesson for renters with common walls--don't sign a long term lease since you can never know who will be living next door to you.
No point in explaining the issues further or trying to defend myself.
You're absolutely right. You asked for advice and people went out of their way to take the time to give it to you. It seems you just don't like what you hear and are bound and determined to do what you want to do so there's nothing more to be said. Good luck.
Thank you Ultrarunner. I know I'm going to have eat a chunk of money regardless, I'm just trying to figure a way to limit my exposure. I would have thought the LL would try and get them out before they established tenancy, which I believe is either 30 or 60 days in CA?
My family is urging me to move asap. It is only a matter of time before somebody calls the police, and I will be the most likely suspect. My brother, who's an RE broker was the one that thought he maybe had to disclose the burglary info.
I get that I made a stupid mistake resigning the lease, but I trusted my LL. Would anyone want to live next to a parolee that's a registered sex offender, with convictions of burglary (in their living space) and drug dealing? I think other LL's are offended that I want to find a loophole to get out of this mess, but if the LL is going to take advantage of his legal rights, why shouldn't I?
I also feel betrayed by the family member that's the legal tenant. While I understand she wanted to protect him, she lied to me and made it sound like he only had charges for grafitti as a teenager and subsequent violations for marijuana. Now she's abandoned the unit, because she has had enough of him, and I'm stuck with a very expensive problem. This was someone that I helped out quite a bit, I even offered to allow her to have my 2nd program rent free so that she could go to college full time. And I now realize how big a bullet I dodged that she didn't take that offer up.
and keep paying till the Landlord has a new renter.
The above is helpful. I was told this was what happened if you break the lease in CA, but I wasn't sure if the info was correct. This would be reasonable!

The Landlord must actively market the unit... in other words... he/she cannot just wait till the lease is over.
If I did it this way, gave notice, but kept paying, would another LL have an issue renting to me?
Thank you.
Would you still have enough income to qualify?
We also check references for the last two landlords.
I find it much better if the applicant is upfront about problems and I let them know this... don't want any surprises when I run the credit report and check references.
