One of the best parts about renting is when you wind up trapped in a terrible house with a useless slug-like landlord, contractually obligated to continue paying a real-life Jabba the Hutt a (significant) portion of your paycheck. At the same time, they do little to ensure they're delivering you a marketable and inhabitable product. In most places, there's only an escape from this entrapment with arduous process or extreme circumstances. Since the landlord often holds a hefty security deposit over your head, you can't just pack up and leave either —unless the landlord makes the grave error of neglecting to countersign before showing their true colors.
That's what happened when this tenant, Redditor u/TheBreakUp2013, realized they needed to get out their lease—and fast. Their landlord and management had started playing a game with them in order to weasel them out of more cash but sealed their incompetence by neglecting to countersign the lease in the first place.
