I live in a rental house in Seattle, and due to some personal issues with my roommate I am hoping to move out early. Neither of us wants to stay in the house. I have been trying to negotiate something with the landlords, such as finding someone else to take over the lease and continuing to pay rent until that happens.
For some reason the landlord tells me I can't do that and he'll sue me and all those legal threats.
My question is this: we signed a one year lease, before that expired we signed a renewal form. The renewal just says the above mentioned rental contract will be extended for one more year. Nothing else.
Is that valid, or do you need to sign a new lease?
