I asked a ? posted as getting out of a lease in Kansas? I talked to another lawyer and he also said to give a 30 day notification. I told my future landlord this and she said I can't do that because my lease states "jointly and severally" Is this true? Thanks, Shannon

A 30 day notice means nothing if you signed a fixed term lease. Jointly and severally mean that all tenants are liable jointly and if one does not pay the others are still liable to pay for the nonpaying tenant.
