so im stuck in my lease .. argh..ugh..boo..shoot

Oh no

[Maggie_Kenyth 1]

Oh no

does anyone know if this will effect my aos or any other process if I still technically have residency in canada....

I've been looking into it and I guess legally they can't stop me from just leaving...and apparently by not letting me end it with 3 months notice is them just being mean about it because they could let me out early if they wanted to. I am trying to get a subleter now... but if I don't..I'm worried.

I don't even know how this is possible, I remember talking to my super about going month to month in 2008. gosh.

Not sure about Canada, but here if you break your lease they can continue to charge you monthly rent but only until the rent it to someone else.. so if you leave and they rent it a month later, they can only charge you one month's rent. Of course, some places write other clauses into their lease, with big fines for doing this, so you essentially end up paying them more money than if you just paid the rest of the lease amount.

Did you sign a new lease for 2009? I have always had to sign something saying I am going month-to-month or sign renewing for a year. Do they have something with your signature that they can hold you too?

I don't think it will affect your AOS as I have met a few people who live here, but still own houses in their home country.

Today was a busy day for me. Trying to plan my mother's time in Turkey.. and the trip she and I will take to Greece after we leave Turkey. I'll be in Istanbul for 11 days, she'll join me on the 7th day there and we'll be there together for 5 days. Then we'll be in Athens for an overnight stay and Santorini for three days.. then back to Athens for a day and a half.. then she's fly home from Athens and I will go back to Turkey for two days.. then home ( hopefully going home to get the house ready for a new resident : ) )

I never realized there were so many combinations of ways to look for flights. Tried every possibility.. one way,round trip, multiple stops, some one way.. some round trip... My head is swimming, but I was able to find a good deal.

We'll fly from Istanbul to Athens, then Athens to Santorini, then Santorini to Athens.. and then I added Athens to Istanbul on to mine and got tickets for both of us for less than I usually pay just for one round trip ticket to Istanbul.

I should have been a travel agent

Oh nice w' the travel deals. I always say that I should've been a travel agent when I mess around w' expedia.com possiblities, it's cool.

Yea Maggie, do as Jenn mentioned, find out if they have your signature to that lease.

Goodmorning my VJ family, I'm a GREAT mood today, maybe because it's friday and my weekend will be spent preparing to leave...

*3 Days Til I See My Honey Bun, 6 Days Til Interview*

I can't believe how time flew by coz I thought it would never get to this point, literally. Don't laugh but for whatever reason I thought that after NOA2 that the case would be forwarded to my consulate and they'd schedule an interview to pick up the visa, really didn't know about this interview phase until someone on here actually went to their interview... I know, me and my silly thoughts!

Oh great! Good to know and yes I looked it up - Apparently if I give my 3 months notice, they can't stop me from leaving, the most that would ever happen to me is ending up with bad credit , no charges or anything like that. They could keep my deposit too. It's company owned so it would most likely get rented (especially based on location). I am trying to sublet..so hopefully I find someone. I really don't like having anything bad on my record. According to the tenancy board though - them not letting me out of my lease with 3 months notice is pretty much them being ...ahem..mean, because they could let me out if they wanted.

I signed my first lease in 2007 and then before that was up I talked to my landlord about going month to month (in fact hes the one that reminded me) and I could have swore I gave a letter or I was under the impression I was month to month. (as for previous buildings thats all I did..was give a letter before the end of the lease).. but they have no record of it. This lease apparently renews each year if they don't have a letter of change to month to month. As I said Ive lived in an apartment building before this.. 3 leases and always switched to month to month with a letter right after.. so I knew the procotol. Just seems odd that theres no record of me doing it.

***

The trip with your mom and to visit Fuat sounds amazing!! I hope you all have a great time.. especially you and your mom, it's nice to hear you guys have a trip for the two of you as well after visiting Fuat.
