Right way to break a lease…
Hello B’stoners…
Am in an unfortunate situation in an apartment where I need to move out and break the lease.
Without going into details, let’s say I think I am justified and the management company disagrees.
But I have been looking on tenant.net for answers and can’t find the right section…am hoping someone has it bookmarked and can post the link, or can find it quicker than me…
For instance, I seem to remember hearing/reading that if I find a suitable replacement, the landlord must take them on, and can’t disallow them based on spite…
Any merit to this?

Smith and 9th Lockdown for F?
I know the Smith/9th St. F stop is due to close sometime in 2009 or 2010…but I can’t find a solid date for it. Or even what part of the year?
Does anyone know if the MTA has established a date? (As much as the MTA can be trusted to stick to a date?)

life along on the R train?
Hi Bstoners-
Am considering moving to a home along the R. Weekdays are fine, since I work downtown, but am wondering what the R is like on weekends – is it out a lot? Does it get replaced by a shuttle? I already know the train is pretty slow…but just curious how the weekend service is. Thanks!

Kitchen faucet flow start / stop
Hi B’stoners:
The cold water faucet in our kitchen turns on fine, but after running for a few seconds, stops completely. If you turn the faucet on further, the flow resumes normally. Essentially, there is a “dead spot” in the faucet where no water will come out.
Any ideas what might cause this? Is it something I can repair?
Much thanks.

Vinegar / baking soda vs. Drano?
Have been using Drano recently on a clogged tub, with less-than-great effect. Have read about using vinegar and baking soda, but is there a minimum amount of time I should let pass since I last used Drano, before using the au naturel method?

pet security?
Here’s a question for the LLs out there: a tenant wants to get a dog. How much extra security is reasonable to ask for? Weight limit on the dog? What have other people done that has worked well?
