Today I closed on my brand-new house. I knew from the start that once I sold the other house, I wasn’t going to be in the apartment for very long. I even told the apartment complex that when I signed the lease. They understood from the beginning that I might break the lease, and they were fine with it. I never really made that apartment feel permanent, I didn’t hang anything on the walls, and I hardly unpacked.
So when the day finally came and I told them I had bought a house and would be moving, they allowed me to break the lease without any penalties. I’m still grateful for that. It just goes to show that honest communication really does go a long way.
