    I haven't contacted a lawyer yet but am thinking I should do that. But befre I do that I guess I should just contact them beforehand letting them know I want to resolve this situtation out of the courts. My only question is should I continue to make payments or just forget it and wait and see what they do? From what I read from the responses is that they can't file suit till end of lease for "back rent". So I'll basically have 6 months then to figure out what to do, correct? Also if I do contact a lwayer should I obtain one from my home state of pa or fl, where the lease was signed. I rather go with a lawyer up here because a lawyer in fl in my eyes wouldn't give a crap because I won't be referring any clients to him for future business and he'll get paid no matter what, correct?

    If you do decide to stop paying, I would put the rent into a separate acount so you have it if you need to pay it out. I wouldn't wait to contact them though.
