Original Post here.
Just spoke to the Landlord, a few days after receiving the letter. He let me know that he absolutely intended to let us out of the lease and, in fact, that was his intention from the start!
He had decided, you see, to call us up on Christmas day to let us know that, as a gift to us for being good tenants, he was going to cancel our lease and give us back our deposit. But with the Christmas season being what it is, he got busy and was unable to do so until today.
Sure; whatever. Gimme my money back. He'll have the check tomorrow.
Tl;dr Strongly worded letter = super effective.
Thanks to all of you for your help!
