Things in the past week have become nuts. Landlords and renting can be a pure nightmare.

Kris and I found a house in West Columbia that we are very interested in, just the next step is trying to get out of my lease. First I'm going to play the unsafe card. Saying there are two females there and we have been broken into, random people come through our backyard at 3 am, and we just aren't safe. I'll forfeit my deposits, and do anything in my means to help them find another tenant. Including paying for ads to be posted, and signs to be bought. I dont want to leave them hanging, but I also don't want to be in danger.

If that doesn't work, I'll have to write a formal letter of all that is wrong with the house that needs to be fixed. They will have two weeks to fix everything, if not I can break my lease. Only problem is I dont want to get into the month of March and have to pay that month's rent.

I'll let you guys know how things go at lunch.
