I am a month into a year lease in a 2 bed apartment. I cosigned the lease with my freind of many years now. I have a job opportunity elsewhere and would like to get out of the lease. I have given my 30 day notice and paid rent for next month and offered to forfiet the deposit. My roommate wishes to stay and has moved her boyfreind in with her without permission from the landlord. Niether of them have good enough credit to rent the apartment. I have another renter lined up even if he has to kick them out. I have done everything possible to work with the landlord but he is saying that i cannot get out of the lease and he doesn't want to just evict them either. I am moving in 2 weeks and need this matter resolved. Does he have any legal recourse against me? Or would my case hold up pretty well in court? I don't want my credit to be affected by this or have to pay the rest of the lease when i have other renters lined up for him that have good credit.
