Proving Landlord Negligence Evidence
Summary
To prove a landlords failure to re-rent, collect advertisement records, communication logs, vacancy duration, rent comparisons, and witness statements. In California, defenses for breaking a lease include mitigation of damages, constructive eviction, and mutual agreement. Verbal agreements can be valid but should be documented. Consider counterclaims like breach of contract or retaliatory eviction if applicable. Suing for meanness is not typically viable unless it constitutes harassment or defamation.Full Conversation

Is it mutual agreement if i called the landlord and said im sorry but i dont need the place anymore can i return the key to you? And his reply was sure no problem.
Case Rating: *
In California, verbal agreements can be valid, but it's always safer to document them. If your landlord agreed to end the lease with "sure, no problem," it could be seen as mutual agreement. Consider confirming this in writing to avoid future disputes. Would you like more information on how to do that?
