Q: What should i do
I am a hairdresser. Another girl and I rent a room for $200.00 a week from the salon owner. We each are responsible for $100.00 each per week. We have a 1 year contract. Recently the other girl decided she was going to move out of state. She gave the owner a 30 day notice and he let her out of her part of the lease. Now he is coming after me for the other $100.00 which I can't pay. He has given me til January 4th to get out. He is very overbearing and threatening saying he will set my stuff out on the fourth. My contract is not up until April. The contract has no mention of a 30 day notice to cancel the contract. I say since he let my roomate out of the contract he is responsible for her $100.00. He doesn't want to hear anything I have to say and is going to ge4t my room no matter what. What should I do.

A: This may very well constitute a novation. However, from a peace of mind standpoint, it may be worth your while to move out anyway. Do you really want to stay in that kind of oppressive work environment?
