Breaking Lease
My wife and I were separated and we have three children. I moved in to a 1 room studio and signed a 1 year lease. 6 months in the lease, my wife was involved in a serous car accident and was unable to care for our children. Since ths studio was inadequete to support three chidren, we had to move in with my mother. So I had to break my lease. I still owed rent for six more months. Now I understand I signed a legal contract. But as a father, I am obligated to provide for my children. Now I am being sued for the remainder of the lease. I do not feel this is ethically and morally correct. What was I to do? My children needed my full support, Their mother was in the hospital in serious condition. Please advise me on what I should do.
Thank You Michael Arns |

Well you said you moved into your mother's house, why could you not pay the balance of the rent owed while living with your mother (for free I assume?). How long ago was this, is there still time to find a new tenant to take over the remaining months on your lease? |
