<prompt> Human: Hi PF! So I recently secured a spot in a sublet for this summer in DC. The price was 1,100 a month. As I would only be in DC for JulyAugust, the girl I was renting from asked me to find someone to take my spot for June. I did, and it got messy, here is the breakdown. Girl said she could only afford 1,000 of rent, no biggie, I could cover the extra 100 Girl moves in, there are a ton of problems in the apartment, she contacts me and I offer to talk to the landlord Girl is offered a rent cut to 825 for the month vs. the original price of 1,100 This is good for me as I have some other expenses to take care of, and assume I am now free of making up the 100 I agreed to pay when she gave me her budget Financial troubles pile up surgery, my family is moving, brother and I got denied financial aid for college Parents say im on my own for the summer totally OK, im a hard worker and can swing it Today she contacts me and says I still owe her 100 towards her rent, weve been going back and forth all day. I am refusing to pay it considering the almost 300 dollar rent cut she received. Reddit, am I wrong? I feel like she is trying to take advantage of me but I also dont want to be an ass. I know 100 doesnt sound like much but im paying all my expenses this summer and its a lot on a minimum wage salary. I actually had to drop this lease and find another one because I couldnt afford it anymore. Here is some of the text I sent her taylor landlord , any thoughts are appreciated...Our original deal was that of the 1,100 of rent that were owed to Taylor, you were able to pay 1000, and I agreed to cover the remaining rent. That money was owed to Taylor, not to you. When Taylor offered a cut in the rent as the owner of the lease, it represented a change in what was owed to Taylor. The rent was 1,100, and Taylor cut it to 825. I owed taylor the portion of your rent which you said you were unable to cover on your budget, once the price of the rent fell beneath your budget, that portion that I owed taylor ceased to be necessary. edit 1: grammar clarity edit 2: details, the conversations are getting aggressive, it makes me nervous.  <response>: Youre not wrong. Fuck her. You went out of your way to help her bump over 1,000. If you didnt sign anything either way shes beat. If you did sign something saying youll contribute a hundred to help her since she cant afford 1100 shes still beat. Hold your ground on this!
