<prompt> Human: I live in Minnesota. I signed a renters lease agreement that went from July 2013, to July 2014, after that it became month to month. The lease specified that if I move out between November and April, I forfeited my rights to my damage deposit. It also had a clause that said I had to give 59 days notice. I submitted my 30 day notice on November 1st of 2014. Hoping I could move out within a month. They called and said not only do I need to pay through December and extra 825 dollars that Id also have to still give up my initial damage deposit of 825. I know this seems cut and dry, but it seems unreasonable for me to give up nearly 1,700 dollars. I have to be about by the 15th of November, because of work related relocation. Is there any way to negotiate or get around the agreement? If I get sued so be it, but Im more worried about rental history. Any advice?  <response>: Nope, you signed the agreement. Unless there is some tenant law in MI that says that part of the lease was null and void.
