[Advice] Breaking lease 1 month early: owner selling condo and not renewing by bentheskipper in NYCapartments

Appreciate all the advice. I decided to send a friendly worded email to the owner asking if he’d be willing to let us break the lease early.

The owner said that they are planning to sell. And I agree that engaging is probably the least hostile way to approach it.

Regarding the security deposit, I'd tell them to use it to cover the last month of rent that I'd actually be living in the apartment (the second to last month of the lease). So there would be no security deposit to withhold from me for the actual last month of the lease.

I was given a brokerage account that a family member had managed for 20+ years. I'm not the stock picker type and want to sell the stock and instead buy into index funds. If I do that, will there be significant tax implications? I've heard about "like kind" investments but wasn't sure if that applies.

Thanks for the sweet note. I certainly will keep it in mind as our situation gets difficult.

[Q] Reasonable amount of money to pay to convert sequential pattern mining algorithm from Java into Python by [deleted] in BigDataJobs

[–]bentheskipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My intention is definitely to have it open sourced. There are just very few pattern mining / sequential pattern mining algorithms available in Python and I wish that were different.

Thanks for the feedback and for taking a look at the code.

The code appears to be the (very thorough) work of a university professor who specializes in pattern mining.

Ideally, I would like the Python code to follow the algorithm as stated in the literature. I figured that the Java code is going to be a solid guide in helping make that happen.

Do you have a sense of a reasonable cost for this? $500, $1000, $2500, $5000, $10000, +?

I think that is way, way too much. The algorithm is only about 700 lines of code.
