I don't want to renew the lease
Why won't you renew the lease?
I am considering moving, and I don't want to be tied down with a new lease.
I figure as much. But if you don't renew it it will look bad for you. You don't want that to happen do you?
Nah. He can't make me renew the lease if I don't want to.
If that's the case then why not. He seems to be a cool guy. So you go with it but be more mature next time as not all people will be like him.
