我们可是遇到了非常棘手的问题

和版上的各位大虾不一样,我们是房客,可是遇到了非常棘手的问题。

我们今年六月续了以前的lease,但房子坏了的地方通知了房主也不给修。总是找这样那样的借口,搞得我们特别烦。

最后被迫8月份赶紧买房,break lease, 通知房主后,房主答应,扣了我们所有的deposit,检查了房子,又要了100块钱说修水管,我们也给了,然后搬走。房主没有说什么。但没有任何书面文件。

12月份,以前房主突然给我们发信说她刚刚租出去房子,让我们付房子空着的时候几个月的rent, 还有帮他出租房子的agent fee。说假如不付钱,就会 file a lean on my current house or chase the balance of rent for the rest period of our lease.

我们仔细读了lease, 很晦涩,不知道哪条可以保护我们,有相似经历的JMs能不能给出出主意。谢谢!
