he is adamant that he does not owe me october's rent when he informed me he was moving out halfway through september, on the grounds that i deceived him when paying an electricity bill earlier in may of this year, but even after that he signed a new lease with me. i am very worried about this and he told me that it's legal to break the lease under those hostile living conditions. i was the sole payer of all the bills, electricity, cable, internet and rent and just collected the money from him periodically. he says he's going to try and find a replacement roommate for me by the first of this month so he doesn't have to pay me anything. someone please help me here, he also says he's getting this advice from a lawyer.
