About a month ago my girlfriend moved in with me and had to break her lease.?

They said she needed to give 30 days notice and she could cancel three months early. Anyway she got a letter in the mail after she turned in the keys saying she owed for january and is late. She called the main office and said whoever told her at the leasing office was wrong and she cant break the lease. They already changed the locks on the door but no one lives there. She does not have anything in writing since it was a conversation in the office and she wrote the letter stating she is moving out. She is now liable for the next 3 months and we have a morgage payment and cant afford the lease at her old place. What would be the plan of action.
Thanks

Since there is no written agreement your girlfriend is just going to have to be held liable. However, She maybe able to set up a payment arrangement to take care of the last three months. This time get everything in writting and make sure that within the statement is says "after monies owed are paid in full, no further action will arise from this situation." Also, does your girlfriend know who she talked with. If so, she could debate the verbal agreement between her and them.

Since they already changed the locks they are planning to rent it out, many times apartment complexes tell the tenant that they can move out, because they know that they can rent the apartment and still hold the other person liable for the money, its like getting double the rent. for now i would ignore it. as long as she is not going to be moving out any time soon. She will take a hit to her credit, but since you already have the house, what does it matter. it will only affect it for a while. and when it does hit her credit you can go on line and dispute it, if they don't respond in 30 days the credit bureau will remove it. The mortgage comes first.

They do have a case though, if they take you to court, because of the lease. i would have to say, see how far they take it and don't settle out of court unless they give you a hell of a deal. A judge might be inclined to agree with you that they misrepresented themselves by saying that she could break the lease. Also keep an eye on the apartment and see how fast they rent it out again, you could bring that up and say that they did not lose much money and maybe you won't have to spend as much.

Any way for now concentrate on the mortgage and don't fret about anything else. If you allow that to go into foreclosure, now that would be a nightmare.

Good Luck and Good Night

You could try subletting. Find someone to rent it from you. or you could find another renter for the apt. They cannot collect full rent from two sources for the same place.
