I signed a residential lease at Collegetown in Conway, South Carolina so my daughter could live near campus. Just before move-in she realized the assigned roommate situation was unworkable, and I notified the complex in writing right away. Management acknowledges the notice but is now classifying the account as one-month delinquent and demanding the entire balance of the twelve-month lease. I have not spoken with an attorney yet and need clear, practical legal guidance aimed at reducing—or, if possible, eliminating—the amount they say we owe. You will receive the signed lease, our written notice, all emails from the landlord, and the current payment demand. Deliverables • Written opinion (2–3 pages) that analyzes the lease terms alongside relevant South Carolina landlord–tenant statutes and case law • Recommended strategy for negotiating or contesting the charge, including any statutory defenses (e.g., duty to mitigate, early-termination provisions, constructive eviction, etc.) • Short template or talking points I can send to management while the matter is unresolved • One follow-up Q&A after I review your opinion Please note: I am interested only in legal advice—no drafting of litigation papers at this stage.

Hello, I can assist you in evaluating your daughter's student lease at Collegetown in Conway, SC, to challenge management's acceleration demand and minimize or eliminate any liability. As an advocate with 24 years of litigation and dispute resolution experience, I specialize in contract analysis, defense strategy, and negotiation. Here is how I will address your deliverables: 1. Legal Opinion (2–3 pages): Analysis of your lease under South Carolina law (SC Code Ann. § 27-40-10 et seq.), focusing on: • Non-waivable Duty to Mitigate (§ 27-40-50(a) & § 27-40-730(c)): Landlords must make reasonable efforts to re-rent at fair market value; immediate pre-move-in notice severely undercuts their 12-month acceleration claim. • Penalty vs. Liquidated Damages (§ 27-40-330): Challenging unconscionable acceleration clauses that demand full rent without credit for re-letting. • Roommate/assignment terms and early termination/surrender doctrines. 2. Actionable Negotiation Strategy: Concrete steps and leverage points to contest delinquency and press management for an immediate release or nominal settlement. 3. Management Communication Template: Concise talking points and a formal response letter to halt escalation and assert statutory defenses. 4. Follow-up Q&A: Comprehensive post-review discussion to answer all questions. I am available to review the signed lease, notice, emails, and demand immediately. Best regards, Adv Deon Hugo

You signed a 12-month residential lease near your daughter’s campus, promptly raised a serious roommate issue before move-in, and now the complex is treating the account as delinquent while demanding the entire remaining lease balance. The key question is not simply what the lease says, but what South Carolina law requires the landlord to do after receiving your notice. I can review the signed lease, your notice, correspondence and payment demand together, then give you a focused 2–3 page opinion addressing the early-termination language, duty to mitigate damages, any applicable statutory protections, constructive-eviction arguments, notice requirements, and relevant South Carolina authority. I’ll separate strong arguments from points that are fact-dependent so you know exactly where you stand. More importantly, I’ll turn that analysis into a practical negotiation strategy aimed at reducing or eliminating the claimed balance, rather than jumping prematurely into litigation. I’ll also provide concise management talking points and one follow-up Q&A after you review the opinion. I have substantial experience reviewing commercial and contractual disputes and advising on practical resolution strategies. You’ll get a clear answer, not a generic legal memo. I can start as soon as you provide the documents. Regards, JD Baruah
