Though my girlfriend and I are not married yet (we're planning for next spring, can't wait!), we've lived together a very long time, and effectively function as husband and wife. Last fall, we lost her mother after a years-long battle with cancer. My girlfriend's sister, who I'll refer to as April, lived with her mother in at apartment at a small complex at that time. The loss was especially hard on April, and she didn't want to live alone in the apartment that she originally shared with her mother, so we took her in to live with us. April's lease wasn't up until 5 months later, but she told the office at her apartment complex that she no longer wanted to live there because of what had happened. They told her they sympathized, but that she would have to write the main office in Columbus to break the lease.
So April wrote the letter, and after a month and a half of waiting and worrying she got her response from Columbus. It looked something like this:
"We will be unable to terminate your lease at this time.-D. Bebop
