<prompt> Human: Here is the situation, my lease ends on the 10th of august, but i move in to a new place on august 1st. I want nothing to do with the place im currently in and they are expecting a half months rent. I dont have any credit score or anything connected to the owners of the place. What is the worst that could happen if me and my roommates choose not to pay?Thanks  <response>: 1. You get sent to collections2. You get sued3. You get a judgment against you which can potentially lead to wage garnishments4. Your credit gets wrecked5. You have a history of nonpayment of rent which will make it incredibly hard to rent other places in the future.This is all assuming your lease obligates you to pay rent for August 1-10, which it probably does because no landlord would just let you live in their apartment for 10 days for free. Pay what you owe. Wanting nothing to do with a place doesnt excuse you from fulfilling the terms of the contract you signed.
