He's exactly like you, but one-third your size.

Tribbles -- now in bite size! *giggles*

One of the girls I work with is getting sued for six thousand dollars by her landlord for breaking her lease and gave me the contract to look over to see if I could find a loophole. I suppose "too naive to have known not to have signed this thing in the first place" doesn't really count as a loophole, right?

My car is getting inspected today FINALLY. I brought it in at eleven and haven't gotten a phone call yet, so I take that as a good sign.

It was freezing out last night, which I know because coming home from work I got to hear all about the schools that were closed because it was ridiculously cold out. I also know it because I spent my one-in-the-morning lunch break racing between my car and the front door of my job whining as I bounded away from the frostbite. Heh.

The thing is, she might have had a case if she'd:

a.) Informed him the neighbors who were supposed to be watching the place for her were sneaking up to her back door and listening to her all the time, because now it'll just sound like she's making it up.

b.) Made more of a fuss about repairs he was supposed to do when she moved in, since he STILL haven't done them.

I mean, the guy's done stuff wrong, but at the same time she told me that the people taking care of the apartment have been spying on her when her boyfriend leaves, meaning they know he's been staying there long enough to breach the lease, which they can claim they know from simple observation rather than sneaking up to her kitchen door from the basement and listening.

Ugh. Man, that really stinks! The landlord sounds like a real asshat!

Failure to make repairs can be considered a constructive eviction.
My friend's landlord told her they couldn't move out until the first year of the lease was up, but they're moving out now because they sent a letter showing that the law they were going by was incorrect. Have your co-worker check things out with the state laws, because the policy is usually that you can break the lease with notice.
As for the boyfriend thing, she's kind of in trouble with that, but do they have any evidence except for their own accounts?
