I have approximately one month and a week left on my apartment lease and the situation between my neighbor and I have gotten out of hand.

At this point I’m scarred for my life and don’t wanna stay on the property anymore after he pulled and showed his gun at me twic

But my apartment does not want to let me out the leased

At this point, can you just cut and run? One month rent is not worth… your life

That’s terrifying. I’m wondering what happened to escalate the situation to that point? Of course not an excuse I am just curious.

Regardless I would contact the police.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, please stay away from this person and request a meeting with the property manger. Surely with a report in hand, something should get done—hopefully. Sending positive vibes your way.

Absolutely agreed. Some people are just animals

I called the police and I am going to send my apartment the police report.

Do you think I can sue at this point

Sorry that you are going through this. Sounds like you are taking the right steps. I suggest you reach out to pro Bono counsel or local counsel. No of us would know. Additionally, this isn’t a legal advice thread, no offense :/

With this feeling, you should leave anyway asap. And worry about the logistics of how much you’re expected to pay after the fact! I know with DV cases a person is able to get out the lease. There may be something similar for your case depending on the stage.

Also, not trying to be a butthole… but if you make market, a month and a half of rent should barely dent your pockets for a situation like this. No one wants to waste money, but money should be the least of your concern right now.

I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?

If you go for interview and you sort of know that the person interviewing you might be curious about something on your negative on your resume like why is there a gap or why were you in XX role for so long?

Do you address it pre-emptively? Or does that show insecurity and you leave the elephant in the room and wait till they ask you?

I guess this is more in the case of networking than interview like do you make your own story?
