Best Answer

Yes. The fee is to break the current bound agreement or lease. If a new tenant moves in shortly after that, it is only because you made it available by leaving. You can sometimes offer to move out and keep paying your rent in hopes it becomes occupied shortly after. This would eliminate the contract and have no requirement for a breakage fee. The gamble is you may keep paying rent for longer than two months and be worse off financially. Economy, time of year, and location are some factors to consider when making the decision.

If you still have time in your lease can you get out of your apartment?

You can get out of a lease but there is always a penalty. Usually you have to pay aat least a months rent plus an additional charge. Some properties can charge you for the rest of the lease. That means if you have six months left on your lease then you owe six months rent!

Is the early termination fee at AT and T on the phone or contract?

Early termination fees are applied on the contract you signed. Basically, mobile (cell) phone companies 'give' you a 'free' phone provided you sign up for a minimum term contract (usually two years).If you want out of the contract early - they will charge you the remaining 'unused' months as a 'termination fee' - You get to keep the phone, but you'll have paid for it over the length of the minimum term.As an example - say you signed a two year contract for $20 a month (I assume you're in the US as you asked about AT&T) - Over two years, that's $480. Now, if you wanted out of the contract mid-way through month 17 - AT&T would charge you the remaining six months of 'unused' contract (at a total of $120) to end the contract.

Where can you find no credit check apartments in columbia south carolina?

Unfortunately all apartment complexes check for credit but some of them will work with you. They may charge you one or two months rent as a security deposit to ensure that you wont break your lease or refuse payment. I would try to rent from a private person if you don't want your credit ran by an apartment complex.
