Lease Wars: The Ex-Files Edition 📂💔
In the aftermath of a love gone sour, our heroine stands her ground against her ex-beau's eviction attempts. The battlefield? A cozy studio apartment in a city where rents are as high as the drama. With her name on the lease and a determination to find the perfect new pad, she's not about to rush into a roommate roulette. Meanwhile, he's throwing shade like it's sunny in Seattle, calling her coldhearted for not crashing with her folks. But is she really the villain in this domestic drama, or just a savvy tenant playing by the rules? Let's see what the internet's armchair judges have to say about this living situation showdown. 🍿🛋️
Assert your rights and consider transferring the lease or buyout 😉
