(This is the friend with the landlord issue)

Yea I do feel bad about having to break the lease like this, although honestly he kinda brought this on himself, if he hadn't lied to me about the door code (I had a second gig where I digitized records but they have strict delivery rules where they have to be delivered to me or a locked door in the building I live, and when he showed me the building I told him that and asked about the code lock and he said it just needed a new battery, then after I moved in he said the code couldn't be given to delivery people because it is a security risk) I would have money for him. I may still be able to come up with it but at this point I actually kind of want to get some official people involved because of how he threatened me. It wasn't just a few idle threats he was in the hallway screaming at me calling me names and saying that he was going to beat the shit out of me and have people do the same.

> which is why it’s good to look himself if possible and find a replacement

I honestly would not feel comfortable knowingly putting someone into contact with this guy.
