(This is the friend, I was trying to use a throwaway but they.arent allowed to have their posts show up here)

Yea I just want to be out of here, I feel bad I have to break my lease and that I am unable to pay (though again, when he showed me the apartment I told him I had another gig digitizing stuff and that they have strict delivery requirements where boxes have to be left with me or behind a locked door in my building, and when I asked if the door code lock works he said he just had to change the battery. Then after I'd moved in he said giving the code to delivery people is a security risk. If he hadn't lied and I could do that job this would not be happening.)

I would normally be using my time to figure this out with him but he's acted so terribly and told so many lies and been so stressful to deal with that I am starting to feel like I would be more comfortable with some legal help.
