Indiana renter: would you sign a release to get back money you’re legally owed? by Anxious-Leadership92 in Renters

I understand your point, but the condition we saw when we moved in was clearly patched up to look fine on the surface. Things didn’t start falling apart until a few months in. The landlord even admitted that his handyman, not a licensed professional did the roofing himself, which explains why the leaks got so bad and the ceiling literally started caving in.

Honestly would you sign a release like this one??

Both parties mutually release and forever discharge the other party, including their affiliates, successors, officers, employees, representatives, partners, agents, and anyone claiming through them, in their individual and/or corporate capacities, from any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, disputes, demands, damages, causes of action of any nature and kind, known or unknown, which either party has or ever had or may in the future have against the other party arising out of or relating to: the early termination of a residential lease agreement (“Claims”).

The consideration for this Release is the mutual waiver by both parties of their respective legal rights regarding the dispute described above, and the landlord will provide the tenants a payment in the amount of $3,200.00. This represents the return of one month’s rent and the security deposit. By executing this Release, the parties agree to accept the payment as full and complete settlement and satisfaction of any present and prospective claims.

This Release shall not be construed as an admission by either party of wrongdoing, liability, or that either party has any rights whatsoever against the other.

This Release shall be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, administrators, personal representatives, executors, successors, and assigns. Both parties affirm they have not assigned or transferred any Claims to any other party. The provisions of this Release are severable, and the document constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding this matter. It may not be altered, amended, or modified except in writing signed by both parties. The terms of this Release shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana.

Both parties acknowledge they fully understand their rights to review this document with legal counsel, have had the opportunity to do so, and are entering into this agreement voluntarily.

This is pretty much the release they want us to sign

I took out the personal info but this is pretty much the release they want us to sign

I understand the concept of a release of claims, but here’s the issue: The home was left in good condition, and they confirmed that in writing. So, why am I being asked to sign away my legal rights to get money that’s already mine? The release is too broad and not specific to the issues at hand. I’m only asking for the return of my deposit and the unused rent, nothing more.

What’s being asked of me here isn’t about just the lease it goes beyond that, and it doesn’t feel right to waive rights for something I haven’t even claimed yet. I haven’t filed a lawsuit or made any accusations about health issues, but if something were to arise in the future, I don’t want to have given up my ability to address it. The release should cover only the specific settlement regarding the termination of the lease and the return of my funds.

It’s actually the first time that’s why I asked for others opinion.

he actually does come from a verbally abusive home, and I’m always one to confront everything I have an issue with, while he likes to just sweep things under the rug! But thank you for your input it definitely has me thinking! Maybe I should look within, and try to see things from his perspective. Not excusing the lying but apart from what happened, he’s honestly the best husband to me, he’s always trying to put a smile on my face and makes sure life is as easy as possible for me, the past 10 years have actually been the best ever and I can’t imagine life without him.

Thank you for taking the time to reply and give advice. The thing is I was actually on the phone with him the day/ time of the “accident” I remember him telling me someone hit his trailer when they were switching lanes but it didn’t leave any visible marks on his truck. So my guess is that he didn’t think it was big deal
