    Lease termination penalties
    Our landlord wants us to pay a 2 month's rent as penalty, plus lose our security deposit for terminating our lease early. There is a clause to this effect in our lease agreement, but I've had people tell me not to pay it. That it sounds shady. We're in NY. What should we do?
