TLDR:
> roommate did not give 60 day notice despite promising he would
> he turns it in 32 days before our lease ends
> the lease must now be extended an extra month
> we already have a new apartment with our deposits and everything paid
> for one month we will be controlling the bill on two apartments as a result
All of my fucking rage aside, what can I do to make sure the bill is as low as possible in my old apartment for that month?
Is there a way to shut off the water?
Would flipping all the breakers off prevent much electricity being used?
Kys maybe

If you knew that he was a fuck up then why would you trust him to handle that?
Enjoy your expensive lesson.

He's a fuck up now, after fucking up on this
But yeah, you're right, it's my fault for not handling it myself.

Rent it out on airbnb
> give 60 day notice verbally
> put deposit down, two weeks before moving day, get a call asking me to come sign a renewal of old apartments lease
> tell her I spoke to her in person and verbally gave it and she accepted
> "well, we also need written confirmation... which its too late for"
> explain to her that its too late to not move, cogs are in motion
> "well that puts you in breach of your lease"
> so no matter what I don't get the deposite? Then what's stopping me from wrecking the place?
> "excuse me?"
> (at this point I'm a little mad, but mostly intrigued)
> I smash an old picture frame I had audibly
> That was the bathroom vanity mirror. Ill tell you what Shannon, I'm going to come by your office with a new deposit that's half the price of the old and you're going to give me that old check. You can cash this one, it's yours, but you will not get the full deposit. Ill even vacuum when I leave.

having a roomate is ALWAYS a bad idea
