You mentioned that the landlord sent you a letter stating that the lease was terminating as of Dec. 31 instead of in May 09. Since the landlord terminated the lease in writing, as long as you move out by Dec. 31 then she is not entitled to any rent after that date. Once you've moved out send her a letter by certified mail, with a copy by regular mail, confirming that you have moved out as per her termination letter and you look forward to the receipt of the 5 months of rent that you prepaid plus the security deposit you provided, on or before February 15, 2009. Make sure that you give her your forwarding address and make sure that you keep a copy of the letter. If she hasn't paid you in full by Feb. 15th then you should file a lawsuit.

Wow thanks, that's great advice. Because I truly do not fill comfortable living there anymore. I basically would return to shower and change. Than I would leave. It's just stressing me out right now and I'm trying to keep my grades.

I believe that I may have someone to take my place as a renter. Whether it works or not. I plan to take it all the way to get my money back. The landlord put it in writing to me, terminating my lease. Also, she sent a copy to my mom.
