'Landlord is ignoring my notice to vacate': Woman deals with landlord who doesn't want to lose her

Breaking your lease can be a troublesome and frustrating issue to deal with when you're ready to move somewhere new. It gets even more confusing and complicated when you're trying to leave a lease that you've fully honored – but your landlord doesn't want to let you go. When a contracted lease ends, it means you're free to vacate after giving proper notice.

One Redditor explains that she gave notice to his landlord, but the landlord simply won't acknowledge it. Now, she fears she might end up with an eviction on her record since the landlord isn't giving her the green light to move out of the apartment. Instead of being able to make solid plans to find a more affordable place to live, OP is stuck dealing with difficulties her landlord is spewing. To make matters worse, the landlord renewed her lease to be month-to-month instead of just agreeing to let OP move out. Loads of insightful people responded with their thoughts in the thread.
