Show of hands, show of hands! Who around here knows who Superman is?
...I don't mean like- knows who he is, who he is, I mean knows of the superhero dude. Six foot eight, weighs a freaking ton ♫ I'm kidding, he's not six eight. He's taller.
What about Batman? Wonder Woman? Everybody knows the big three, they're like the holy trinity of punchin' dudes who deserve it. Plus I mean, Wonder Woman, am I right? I'm right. Ultimate justice in a one piece.

But I don't know that we can even qualify as a resource when they aren't using us. It's been months since they made a call for assignments.
voice.
But I still don't like the potential.

Prepare for the potential, if you must, [ SHE HAS ] but it isn't worth the attention for the most part.

[ that's something speedsters will get, even if she's hardly as fast of one as he is. then again, it's also something the juggernaut will get, and he's something else entirely. ]

If the latter, I'm sorry to tell you since you don't seem to have caught on just yet, but I'm reasonably certain that will hold true for any universe you rent an apartment in.

Okay, there was this behavioral experiment once, with monkeys. They put a bunch of monkeys in a room with a ladder and a banana at the top of the ladder. If a monkey tried to climb the ladder to get to the banana, all the other monkeys would get sprayed with ice cold water. Eventually the monkeys figured out the pattern and would beat the tar out of any monkey who climbs the ladder. They started replacing monkeys, one or two at a time, but stopped spraying water. The monkeys taught the new monkeys to beat the crap out of the new monkeys if they tried to climb the ladder because they didn't wanna get sprayed.
Well eventually they replaced the entire group of monkeys. So like, none of the monkeys had ever been sprayed with water, and what do they do? They still beat the daylights out of the monkey who tries to climb the ladder. Why? 'Cause that's how it's always been done.
...and that's why giving over a month notice for ending your lease is a waste of time. [w hat]

We aren't monkeys, and some of us aren't even biologically related to monkeys. Also, monkeys don't even sign leases.
It's there to protect the leaser, and it isn't even stupid. The lease is a contract, an assurance that you will to reside in the rented location for the agreed upon period of time. If you leave earlier, and without notice, the leaser is left without that source of income, hence damaging the business they rely on, the exchange the two of you have entered into.
With notice, they will be able to prepare for that vacancy, to find a new tenant and ensure the interruption in income is minimized or at least prepared for. Just flaking on them and disappearing ruins this opportunity. It's selfish and inconsiderate, and a poor business practice.
I can understand if you're worried your lease may be broken due to exPort, but throwing the whole practice out because it protects from your potential actions rather than the other way around is irresponsible and short-sighted. Try actually talking to your landlord instead to see what can be worked out to better fit our particular situation.
But if you can't be arsed to know what a lease is for, I'm tempted to think you don't have any business renting to begin with.

Doesn't mean it isn't an utter waste of time to do so. Especially to the party who has to hear it.
voice.
Oh my god, then hang up! Nobody's holding a gun to your head, jeez.
voice.
You might do the courtesy of listening to me as well, and acknowledging that some responsibility may rest with you, as well.

Fine. I guess it would be stupid to assume the rules don't...apply to me. They apply to everybody equally, and there's a reason for them. A stupid reason.

[ she finally bothers really looking at the name on the comm. who names their child "kid"? the only thing worse would be if he chose it himself. ]

Then I'm sure you're entirely prepared to face whatever consequences come with breaking your lease.
