I’m looking at apartments and will need to break my current lease (issues w the apt maintenance and neighbors) - would you recommend finding an apt first before asking the landlord to let me out of my lease or reaching out to them first?

I’m enjoying the process of not being rushed into finding another place and I’m concerned that asking them to let me out before finding something else will create a rush. I appreciate any thoughts or guidance.

I wouldn’t waste my time looking if I’m not going to be able to get out of my current lease.

Make sure all your issues have been documented so you have time stamps to point to (eg ongoing noise and smoking issues from neighbors, sink took 4 weeks to fix, etc)

Apartments are very easy to get right now - it’s a renter’s market. It’s better to make sure you’re not going to be liable for your old lease before you get a new one.

Hi there

I am in need of some serious advice. I have been continuously harassed, ridiculed and spoken down to by a coworker who’s now even “threatened” to get me fired etc. We do not have an HR department and the only manager I can go to is also mistreated and not taken seriously. What do I do? I’m terrified.
