breach of contract?

My daughter signed a contract to live in a sorrority house at the college she was attending. She has since left the college and is not attending classes there. Is she still liable to pay for a room in the sorrority house even though she doesn't attend college there anymore? We live in Georgia.

My response:

You go out and buy a car. You have a 4 year finance contract, and you sign the contract. Two weeks later you sell the car. Do you still owe money for the car? Of course you do.

All because your daughter no longer maintains dominion over, or resides at, the sorrority house, doesn't mean she's excused from a legally binding contract.

Let me guess. She's being sued, or there's a threat of a lawsuit.

What does a contract mean to you?

My response:

And I can do without dumb, obvious questions. You can do without sarcasm? Then why ask such a question when you already knew the answer? Did you think there was some sort of magic wand that your daughter could wave to get out of a contract?
