Scott M Kane

After I moved out of my rental house three months early, the roommates I had signed the lease with were still living there. They got evicted before the last month. My name was on the lease as one of the renters, so the owners sued to get the last months of rent from me. When I signed the lease, I inf...ormed them that I would be leaving earlier than the full year and asked to have that noted. They verbally agreed to this. Unfortunately it was not in writing so I could not argue that I did not owe the money. Scott came in and argued my case. The owner's settled for a partial payment from me with the stipulation they would seek the other portions from the roommates who actually had agreed to stay the full year. There is no eviction record on my credit score as a result and I was not required to pay the full amount for the mistake of not getting something in writing. That will not happen again!
