Where do you draw the line? It just depends on how honest you want to be about the commitments you made...verbably and in writing.

Whatever... he's profiting off of me and this move. He's getting paid for 3 months after I move essentially. I gave him 60 day notice in May, so I'm paying for June and July, plus an extra 2 months in the breaklease fee. He's paid through September. I'll be out the last week of June. He can re-rent this place by August at the latest and be making his rent again for 2 months that he's already been paid for. He's standing to gain over $3,000 on this if he's smart.
I'd be a vastly different story if I wasn't going to fulfill the lease and do what it requires to break it early. The lease has an early termination clause in it. I took it. What's dishonest about that?

Stop crying about the $600 you owe. Man up and pay up. Who is breaking the lease anyway. Is it the landlord? Oh, its you.

I'm not breaking the lease, though. That's the deal. It's being fulfilled according to its provisions clearly spelled out in the lease.
I understand a security deposit can be used for unpaid rent, but all rent and appropriate fees will be paid. Now, a month after I give him notice, he brings this up. As if the $3,000+ in the breaklease fee wasn't enough. How is this not just being greedy at this point?
Unless he's a complete idiot about this and it takes him over 3 full months to rent this place out, he's profiting off of this move. That alone doesn't sit well with me. I totally get making sure he doesn't suffer any financial loss due to my move and even giving him payment for his trouble in having to re-rent the unit. How does this not sound like he's taking advantage of the situation? Next thing he won't want to return a cent of the security deposit and claim it's because I left early. Might as well let him have another $1,000 because my work transferred me!
