i've stated before that i don't really expect this company to actually pay me the court's order.

and, so, maybe i should take the fact that the market is so slow with a bit of positivity - as, if i'm here until october, it will at least help me recoup two months rent.

....because the court order will surely allow me to withhold rent until the debt is paid down.

that is obviously not what i want. i want to be gone on august 1st, and send the company to collections if they won't pay. 

but. the other upside of this possibility is that it will allow me to move immediately, which is what the market seems to want. if i don't pay rent for august, i won't have to wait until september to move, because i won't have already paid rent for august. and, they can try and sue me on a per-day basis in the end if they want, but they'll have a hard time winning that argument if they're in arrears, and that would be preferable to paying the whole month, in the end.
