    Default Are You Still Obligated on a Joint Lease if Your Ex-Renews the Lease

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

    I apologize if this has been asked before. My girlfriend and I are no longer together. We have a lease that end on April 1. If she signs a renewal lease without me does this effectively take me off of the lease? Meaning I can leave when ever I want?

    "If she signs a renewal lease without me does this effectively take me off of the lease? Meaning I can leave when ever I want? "

    Are you talking about a lease renewal that begins April 2, 2017 or a new one that starts now?

    Ah good point. I didn't think about that. I assumed when you renew a lease it will be effective the day you renew. Assuming it is the day she signs the renewal I should be good to go then, correct? But if the renewed lease doesn't take effect until April 2 I'm stuck until then?

    Deliver a notice to your landlord of your intent to not renew your lease and your date of vacating the abode. If questioned, simply inform them you will not be entering into a new lease regardless of what your former co-tenant does.
