What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
CA
The ex-wife and I are still going through the divorce. She's also trying to get out of the apartment lease by arguing a case about the mold issue to the management. Today she came to get the last of her things and wanted me to sign a form that said she was "gifting" me the rest. I told her that I wanted a copy, for her to sign it, and a day to research whether or not "gifting" would mean anything against me in court (because we are fighting over who gets the car still). She then said she "needed" me to sign it as proof that she no longer has possessions in the apartment by the end of the month to the management.
The management has delayed giving us a straight answer for the last two weeks and she is determined to leave and pay nothing after the end of the month. I don't know if I can move out that soon.
Questions:
1. The "gifting" thing is bogus and just means that she is oblivious to how the law actually works right?
2. What should I be doing about the lease at this point? Will management be forced to accept losses for the time it takes them to respond and tell us if they will cooperate or not? I'd rather stay with just my half of the rent for one more month, (which she is supposed to be paying because I had to cover both of us for the month of January) and then move out if I could.
