Lol I actually did major in business (masters in accounting) not LAW, hence my question. I realize signing a contract is pretty clear cut and dry, but in this case the circumstance of the landlord being willing to terminate early is kind of unique so I wanted to see if there could be anything I was overlooking since I'm not a lawyer and I presume many people on here are. Thank you for your response but I see no need to make a rude personal remark towards me and my education.
