Has anyone ever backed out of a lease prior to the lease starting/move in? Specifically in Illinois? We did not pay a security deposit, but we did pay a holding fee.

Wondering if it’s the same as “breaking a lease" bc technically the lease hasn’t started

Did you sign any paperwork? Maybe you should find a lawyer and see what they think

As long as you have not signed the lease agreement , there is no contract

I was in the same situation a few years ago and backed out of an apartment I had on hold a few days before moving in. I called the leasing office and told them I wasn’t moving in and followed up with an email (leave a paper trail). I lost the holding fee and the leasing office was somewhat upset but since i didn’t sign the lease, there weren’t any repercussion.

Lease was signed so I’m thinking I’ll have to get a lawyer involved

Signed lease = you are legally liable for all those rent payments. (At least pre-covid)

I know this bowl seems to be all photos 😍 but serious question for all you hard-working, king-hours dog owners out there... do you ever feel guilty about how much you're working and leaving your pup at home alone? How do you get over that guilt? Do you use doggie daycare every day or just a few times a week? Do rely on a roommate or SO to help? I'm a single lady and would LOVE to get a pup this year but am fighting the guilty feelings, so any advice would be much appreciated!

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Struggling- It's so hard to work in an environment that's trying to move towards being tech savvy (teams meeting, automated systems, heavy email communication), when you have team members who refuse to change. It makes my job very hard because I need these parties to approve certain things before I can move forward in my role. It's gotten to the point I dread coming to work. Management is aware of the issue (others have complained too) but little is being done. #jobhunting
