What is the name of your state? WV
Okay I'm posting here for my GF. Here is the situation.
She signed a pre-lease on an apartment with another girl for college. But in the end my gf decided that she was going to switch colleges and moved away. She recieved the actual lease papers to be signed but she never signed them. She just discarded them. She let her room mate know three months ahead of time that she would be leaving and would not be leasing the apartment with her, but now her roommate has turned around and is threatening to sue her unless she pays $350 a month towards the apartment. My GF has never moved into the apartment in the first place, and has not lived a single day in it.
Is she legally bound by that pre-lease to pay the $350 a month on an apartment that she isnt living in? If so what is the best course to take in order to get out of the lease without having to pay almost $3,000 in order to finish up the lease time.
Could she get out of this by just sending the landlord a formal written request of removal from the lease?
