Is there a legal way a person can break lease at an apartment complex with a roommate?
Question by Krys: Is there a legal way a person can break lease at an apartment complex with a roommate?
my sister has a roommate who has begun to threaten her and throw parties all the time. She has told my sister that she cant use certain rooms in the apartment even though she pays half of the rent. Is there a way my sister can break lease with the roommate by paying her half to break lease?

I signed a 6 month lease with a girl that I worked with and we moved in together. 3 months later she turned psycho and I wanted out. We fought for about a month and in the end I had to agree to pay for a month’s rent beyond my move out date and let her keep the deposit – that I had paid fully myself. It was more than worth it to get out of there as she was running up the phone bill and not paying and it was in my name.
Have your sister talk to the room mate and see what the room mate wants to do – maybe she wants your sister to move out or she wants to move out herself.
