No, I think I chose to be the better person in that case. I'd put up a pissy and passive-aggressive Facebook post about the party running late. It wasnt' even the lateness that really got me. Erin had indicated, early that day, that she knew Kat and I had to work the next day and that she'd keep the noise level down after 11 which is when the party got loud.
I think what upsets me about that incident is that Kat came of all "Judy is the only one in the wrong here". I still don't agree with that and I think it was a strategic mistake on her part. If I hand't decided I wanted to be the better person, it could have totally backfired on her.
I'm not sure where my copy of the lease is but, yes, it did cover early termination. If I remember correctly, Simone could have demanded the last month's rent and kept the security deposit. I was honestly seeing losing $1200 ($800 for deposit and $400 for rent) as a real possibility. It's one of the reasons I agreed to letting her keep half the deposit.
