Whatever... Name one thing I've changed. I've never said the discount was in the lease.

"My question is this. When we were negotiating the lease, we agreed on $50 less per month to do a 2 year lease. There is nothing about this discount in the lease, it was just verbal and the monthly lease price in the lease is what we were paying ($50 less than he had it posted for). He wants to keep $600 of the security deposit as a re-payment of this discount since I only ended up staying there one year. I'm already paying him (well... my work is paying him) a 2 months rent breaklease penalty."
According to tenant's statements "There is nothing about this discount in the lease ... just verbal ..."

Answer me this... when have you profited $3,000 to $5,000 off of a tenant? When have you told someone you'll use his security deposit (it is my money, not his as it's a security deposit, not rent) for something other than actual damages? This may have been different if he would've asked, not told me, what he was going to do. And you still haven't addressed he legality of him renting out the place in July, which is a month I am legally entitled to, not a part of the break lease fee. Remember, I gave 60 day notice in May. I paid for June and July already to pay rent for those 60 days. I understand your point for renting in August because my break lease payment doesn't entitle me to live there through September. But that point goes against you wanting to side with a tenant and not a landlord.

The landlord is legally entitled to re-rent the premise once the tenant has legally vacated the premises. The tenant has legally vacated the premises once the tenant surrenders the keys to the landlord, abandoned the premises, been officially evicted by a court of law. In this case, the tenant will surrender the keys at move-out on or before July 1, 2012. If the tenant retains possession of the premises by not surrendering the keys, the tenant will have violated the sixty (60) days advance notice in order to vacate using the break lease clause and will be legally responsible for another month's rent, according to the signed lease agreement which the tenant intends to violate.
Think this is a fabricated post.
Think the poster is fabricating contrived responses to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the most monotonous posts to one message board!

Do you know for a fact, as in there is a signed lease with a tenant who has given deposit, that he has already rented the apartment for July?
Security deposits can be used for money owed on a lease agreement in some states. It is not always strictly limited to only physical damages to the property. You would need to look up your state's laws to find out what your state says concerning the deposit.
Either way, you need to decide once and for all what you want to do and then do whatever it is you are going to do. Either leave to your other home and put this behind you or continue to drag it out for the last few days/weeks and complicate the issues more and more and more by doing things on purpose now just to be a hard ass and create a pissing contest and have all this follow you to your new home. What purpose would it serve? What purpose does it serve to keep calling the LL and trying to come up with different deals once one has already been agreed upon? Have the company pay the $600 or don't. Tell the landlord that you are staying through July or hand over the keys at the end of June and be done with it. Either way pick a direction and do it and deal with whatever outcomes stem from it.
Going back and forth on this board trying to convince other people who disagree with your view that you are right is pointless. You will only agree and listen to the posters that write what you already have set in your mind is correct anyway.
