<prompt> Human: I am in the process of closing on a home and there is some overlap between that and the end of my current lease at my apartment. My closing date is set for 1026 and my last month of rent would be in november. I have asked my landlord about ending my lease early and was told i could end it with 30 days notice if I pay double rent on my last month. What would be the consequences if I just moved out at the end of october and did not pay rent for november?  <response>: Your landlord will send you a bill for what you owe them per the terms of your lease agreement. If you dont pay that amount, they can pursue the matter in court, obtain a judgment against you, and use that judgment to garnish your wages or bank accounts to get their money. They could also sell the debt to a collection agency to do all or part of that process. I dont wanna is not a good reason to not follow the lease you signed. Talk to your landlord and see if you could help them find a replacement renter and reduce the amount you will owe, if thats not possible, settle up and move on with your life. In the future, dont sign contracts you dont want to follow.
