My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Minnesota

Hello All,

Let me start off with that i appreciate any help in this matter.

Details.

renew Lease was signed in February 2015 but actually started June 2015. So this current lease is valid until June 1st 2016. I co-leased it with roommate B. While it's not important, i most likely wouldn't of resigned the lease if i knew it wouldn't of been valid until June 2015. I mostly felt pressured by the land-lord to sign up early or they would find a replacement and start showing my apartment.

So last month around the 5th, i told my roommate that i was planning on trying to get out early of the lease. I laid out A & B

Plan A : She find's a new roommate she is comfortable living with and able to financially work with her to cover the rent. She would resign the lease and i would be removed by the landlord.

She asked when i could move out by within the given notice, I tell her i need 10 day's to coordinate people to help and work around my schedule at work.

Plan B : I pay the early termination fee "$300" + 1 Month rent in full. We give 2month's notice to vacate. The landlord did say if they find someone within the first month, that we wouldn't have to pay another month.


So last week on Monday, she tells me she found someone. I ask her if she is 100% sure multiple times if she is okay living with this person and everything. Before i started moving out i asked her if everything was a go via text. She said it was a go. So i purchased boxing materials and everything needed. I also got the assistance of my brother through paying him $15 dollar's an hour + my boyfriend. It took us a little over 6 hours to move out 90% of my things. Prior to doing this, i boxed everything up during the weekday's after work for 2 hours a night. 2x5=10 hours round about. I get a text morning of saturday, saying that the roommate bailed. Then later in the day after i had planned to move out saturday, she sends another saying forget the first text and that everything is 100% go and that her parents are helping her with the rent. So everything was a go and felt sure to move everything out and so we did. Only thing left was a mattress and tv and a couple clothes and dishes.

Sunday, i get a call at 12pm saying that the person bailed again and that it was over.

I've already moved out and everything. So i go and talk to the landlord, they say i have to have her signature to buyout the lease and now my roommate B is refusing the sign this document so i can buy us out of the lease.

What can i do? I've already spent around 200 dollars in gas, boxes, and help "Feeding the help too" just to move out.

I just want to be done with situation and move on. I have text messages saying everything was good, asking how long it would take me to move out, ect....I even have confirmation of when we talked the first time.


Sorry if this is convoluted.
