How To Read Credit Report
I would like to break my lease and move out of my apartment. The
leasing agent will not allow me to terminate the lease without
paying a substantial amount of money, which I cannot afford. If
I break the lease is it possible that this could go on my
credit report in any way? The leasing agent says that it will go
on my credit report, but I am wondering if maybe they are just
making empty threats.
He is neither pompous nor an asshole. He just has
a rather serpentine, that is to say, twisting, rhetorical,
or argumentative, style, or manner of expression, with
a lot of dependent, or, if you wish, supportive clauses,
or, more accurately, qualifying expressions.
But he's right to express impatience at the disingenuity
of people who try to portray a matter of common sense
as a "legal question" to escape the responsibility for
facing the obvious. Of course "breaking a lease" is
bad for your credit!
You must have been trying to ask something else. But
I won't complain about having to guess. I don't want to
be a pompous asshole.
