I live in Simi Valley, California ( Ventura County ). I started a 1 year lease to rent an apartment on 2/13/09. I just found out at the beginning of this month that I will be laid off from my job on 11/6/2009. I notified the management company on 9/1/2009 of this via telephone and that I will be moving out since I will not be able to pay rent on 11/30/2009. I sent them a certified, signature confirmation letter on 9/4/2009 stating my situation and that if I dont hear from them in 10 business days of the letter that they agree to let me out of my lease early. It has been past 10 business days and they have not picked up the letter from the post office since they were not at the office to sign for it. I sent another letter on 9/18/2009 thanking them for letting me out of my lease early and they have not picked up that letter either. Would those letter's be submissible in court if they sued me for the remaining months? Is there anything else I can do to help my situation? I feel like the management company is ignoring me, what can i do? Thanks, Lorie
