My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Kansas
I have signed a lease with 6 other people on a 7 room house about a month ago. We can not move in till July 1st. Since then, some issues have come up between myself and the other future roommates that has lead me to decide I can not live with them due to many disagreements and whatnot.
I am going to talk to the landlord to find out what can be done about this, as some other issues will prevent me from being able to uphold my end of the agreement, mainly being unable to find another job, so paying rent won't be possible.
However, despite telling my roommates that I intend to break the lease, which has yet to start, they have told me they plan to take me to court if I do break it over the future rent, or unless I find someone to replace me
The problem with finding someone else is I know no one outside of the people I was intending to move in with, and they are a closed-minded kind of people and would never agree to anyone I did find.
My question at this point is what are my options, and can they legally take me to court over this even though the lease hasn't started? Obviously things could change depending on what the landlord says, but I want to find out my options as of now. I am fine with paying a fee for breaking the lease if necessary.
