Re: [問題] sublease違約

[allfail (我要xx了)]

※ 引述《wisdomtanya (wisdom)》之銘言：
: normally breaking a lease costs 1 month rent=715
: the standard lease term is 1 month
: and in this case 2 month
: so 715*2/12=119
: so 350 is unbelieveable ........
: according to Maryland's law (for assuming your state is the same)
: the max security is 2 month rent.....
: so 119*2=238
: so 350 still too high

1. Things are not scalable this way. In general, the shorter the term,
the more expensive the cancellation fee would be.

2. Even if you follow this scaling, you can only count the days that
both sides agree that the apartment is not leased. From the conversation
record we can see that our rentee did not decide not to rent until quite
late in the process. There is no reason he can "rewind" and refuse to
pay for the days before the decision. And there is usually a period between
your moveout date and the date you let the landlord know about it.

3. The problem is not really about money. It has already been said; I don't
think there is a valid contract since sublease is illegal. The real problem
is about the responsibility; the OP seems to think somehow he does not have
to be fully responsible for the loss of $700 for the two people combined
due to he's not showing up. That is simply not right.

推 george31708:sublease本來就是合法的，房東租約也會註明sublease的
