What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MASS
Hi, my wife and I broke an apartment lease when I lost my job. Now the apartment complex has sent the matter to a collection agency. They are claiming we owe about $4000 as part of an early termination agreement. However, one of office workers mentioned off-handedly my wife that they had found a new tenant for January 1. Do we still need to pay them the $4000 (a months rent plus the early termination agreement) if they have found a new tenant? I feel like I read somewhere that if they find a new tenant it changes the situation. Also, might be worth mentioning, I am not sure how we would prove they have a new tenant.
Thanks!
