<prompt> Human: So the apartment building Im living in for college frequently rents out apts by the bed which means you only pay for your half or third or fourth or whatever and anyone can come in at a later time and rent the other rooms. This means I would pay 1,300 for my half. This worked fine last year, and Im renewing my half but my roommate is moving to a different city.Heres the interesting part: when people move out of their apartments and someone else is moving in, the apartment puts two weeks between move-out and move-in for a cleaning company to come in and get the apt ready for the next residents.Around a week after I signed the lease, the agent called me and said that, because the cleaning company cant clean half an apartment, whoever wants to lease the other room has to rent it as is, and this somehow makes me responsible for finding someone to lease it by the end of the week, otherwise I have to pay for the other room until I do. This was in no way made clear to me when I leased, and needless to say, I cant afford 2,600mo.EDIT: I checked the lease, and there are four boxes for the type of lease: conventional, by the bed, as-is, and renewal. By the bed is checked, not as-is, so am I off the hook?Please help, any advice is appreciated!  <response>: UPDATE:I talked to the leasing agent, she apparently wasnt supposed to partially renew the apt and should have leased it to me as-is, but screwed up and renewed it by the bed. She then tried to cover her own ass by giving me the choice of signing a new lease as-is or moving into a shitty single on the ground floor, both of which would invalidate the lease she screwed up on. I kept pushing that what I signed was a legally binding contract, and they eventually gave up and let the lease stand. So I actually came out with a better result than what was supposed to happen. Thanks all for the advice!
