Hi,
I was staying in Texas for period of 6 months and had taken an apartment on rent
I had given a notice period of 2 months in advance before I was vacating the apartment as per the rules
However at the end of 1st month of notice period, I had to urgently go out of Texas and I subleased the apartment for the remaining 2nd month to my friend and signed the appropriate document
Now I have come to know from the leasing agent/company, then they have got my signature on one of documents which lists that I had requested to cancel my notice period a month before I was about to vacate and when I subleased the apartment to my friend and they are asking me to pay the lease breakage charges for it, otherwise they will proceed with legal action against me
***. Guide me on what does the US law state about it and how I can resolve this issue
