i was late paying the rent to the person whose name was on the lease, but they told me it was fully paid wednesday and we prepaid them for the remaining months of how long we were staying. now last night the owner comes to deliver an eviction notice because $460 of the rent isn't paid (out of about $850 i think - utilities and late fee were a separate thing, but we paid those yesterday morning and we should be square with the person whose name is on the lease), and he found out we were here illegally (we covered pretty well though). now this afternoon he wants to meet with us because apparently the only options are to sign over the entire lease through august to us (we were only supposed to be here through May) or we get thrown out in 2 days, since he delivered the notice yesterday night.
it's not THAT horrible because this place was the only way we could've stayed for the semester without signing over a full lease anyhow, but if we sign over the lease the original tenants are under no obligation whatsoever to continue the original deal (we move out in may and they continue paying their own rent), and we can't stay here without leasing through august.
what are our options here. is there any way you can think of that we can get out of paying the summer rent other than finding someone to lease to again? we do still have some leverage in that we can just move out in two days and the tenants are stuck with the rent anyhow, but then we lose the rent we've already paid for this month and we'd have to find someplace to move and we have a lot of stuff.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.
We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.
