<prompt> Human: So I just recently started making a little over 40K. My girlfriend doesnt make as much, but weve been wanting a place of our own and so we signed a one year lease for a 950mo apartment. Weve been together for 3 years and thought this was a good step. Her parents knew we were doing this, but as soon as they found out she was also on the lease not just me they went bonkers. They say that since shes their dependent, shes a liability to them now if something goes wrong. If I die or get mangled, or whatever, the realtors told us we could break the lease by finding new tenants. I told the realtors I was the primary earner, but they did insist that all full time occupants be accounted for on the lease. We didnt see a problem, but her family is literally ready to disown her and cut her off from the car they got her, rescind their offer to give us a bed and some kitchen supplies which is whatever, I can afford those, its just a shitty game theyre playing. She works and can afford a car with careful planning, but its a really aggravating setback. Bottom line, as a first time lease signer, did we make a mistake? It all made sense to us both until her parents went off the wall. Assistant: Get renters insurance covering both of you including a good bit of liability coverage then tell the parents to deal with their daughter growing up or be prepared to not have a relationship with her-- note this should only come from their daughter and not you.Human: I like your style. She said this as well, so it will probably be our next move.  <response>: Had a similar experience heh. Heck you guys waited 2 more years than we did and are making more money so you should be fine.
