We sold a home near indianapolis and then moved to an apartment to be closer to my job and for a better school district for our kid. 2 months in and and we accidentally found a dream home that we wanted to buy. We were planning to live at the apartment for a whole year and causally look for a home to buy. But we stopped by an open house that we saw the sign for as we drove by the neighborhood on a random sunday. And we unexpectedly fell in love and really wanted the home to raise our kid in.
I have never rented an apartment in Indiana before. I only rented in the east coast and it was common there to just give one to two month notice. It's my fault to not pay full attention to the lease breaking part in the lease. I am already beating myself over it, I know it was so dumb of me. But after I signed a purchase agreement to buy the home, and thought I should give the one month notice to break lease, I was told by the leasing office that I am not allowed to break the lease until 6 months in addition to a 2 month rent penalty. I literally almost cried on the phone after they told me that. I would have to pay them an additional $11,000 after I move out and into my new home that is closing in one month. I know it's the dumbest mistake for me to not know that on the lease and just jumped into buying a home.
$11,000 is a lot of money and I feel like I let my family down to throw that money away when it could have been used towards moving cost and mortgage. I feel like I also let my husband down because I was the one that pushed to move to that specific apartment in the first place and he trusted me to read the lease thoroughly for him to sign.
Can someone who has experience with similar lease or knowledge about tenant law in Indiana give some insights as to what can I possibly do in this situation? Any advice is appreciate, thank you so much.
*** Apartment will not allow subleasing nor will they allow me to find a tenant for them ***
I would like to see the northern lights even a glimpse, but I don't know where to go, like a park or some public place where there is no much city lights and I get to see something. Does anyone has any recommendations?

Title. My bike was stolen and I'm looking to find known Facebook markets, craigslist sellers, etc who sell the stolen stuff so I can try to find it. Any tips would be appreciated!
Hey there, I just purchased a new vehicle - unfortunately my last car I drove for near 10 years was totaled.
I couldn’t find a straight answer anywhere online, but I’m trying to determine just how much I can save in registration fees if I was to transfer plates from my old vehicle to the new one vs ordering new plates.
My registration on my prior vehicle only had a few days in October left, not sure if that matters.
Appreciate any info folks may have!
Wondering if any one would be interested in something like a portrait trade because why not (also I might be creating a portfolio). I don't have clients to take pictures of but I feel like I can take a banger headshot something with a nice background like below or some place like Holliday Park.
My gear: Sony A6700 + Tamron 17-70
I saw a post about beef stew and short ribs. Does anybody know a place that has bread bowls? There used to be a place in Southport off McFarland that had the best ones ever. But I haven’t found a place that has them anymore.
I have not been in an official group for many years but miss the group singing experience. I'm probably very rusty with reading music. I think it'll come back quickly though. I am not interested in anything tied to religion or church groups. What groups have you been in and what was your experience?
If it helps: I believe I fit into alto range most comfortably but could flex into soprano.
Has anyone else noticed the increase in apartment fires near 38th St and Eagle Creek parkway? Seems like there has been one or two every night for the past week or so. It’s starting to get suspicious…
Looking to get out and about to at least one, if not more, Halloween parties this year. Google turns up a bunch of pub crawls. That might be OK, but I would love to find a venue that hosts a party, live band, costume contest. Bonus points for North side. Any tips?
Please guys where in Indianapolis (downtown or close to) do they serve pot roast of beef stew or shortribs at night 😰 when I search, restaurants pop up but the beef stew/ pot roast is always mysteriously “unavailable” even at the diner options around town or the restaurants close at like 6pm. Is this really the state of things???
I have 2 free tickets to see The Moss at Hi-Fi on October 19th (9pm). We are unable to go. If you’d like the tickets please comment & I’ll randomly select someone on Saturday. You will need to be comfortable providing your name & email address. You’ll pick the tickets up from the Hi-Fi box office.
Hi, 25M here. Just moved to the Butler area this week and starting my new job on Monday. I have 0 connects here so I'm looking to meet people. Any suggestions on what to do/where to go this weekend? Bars, events etc.
i was in a car crash yesterday on Guion Dr near the daycare in Speedway, this kitten was in the car with me but when i got out i'm pretty sure she got out with me. looked all over my car, under the seats, in the dash, even in the hood lol but she wasn't there. searched for hours yesterday and today, no luck.
she's ~7w old, her name is Minnie but she doesn't know it yet. she's very skittish and shy, she will probably run away if approached but she has never scratched or bitten me when being picked up/held. please share. if you have any information/find her please message me. thank you all.
Is anyone going to see Ed Wood’s Glen or Glenda at Kan-Kan on Monday? I’ve never seen it on the big screen and I’m looking forward to it.
Hi folks. My baby typically eats Kendamil formula (the organic one) but it is sold out of every store and online, and I’ve run out. I’ve tried to find a good replacement but she hasn’t taken to anything I’ve tried. I’m starting to worry about her not getting the nutrition she needs. If anyone happens to see Kendamil in stores, would you please let me know? The only Kendamil formula around seems to be the toddler formula, and that won’t work. Thanks in advance.
Title pretty much says it all, haven’t thrown around in years and had a nightmare that I was in a game and sucked, so I wanna get back into the sport. (25f played centerfield) :)
Hello all, I am a Philly fan traveling to Indy for work next week (I come in peace), and looking for any Philly-themed bars around downtown Indy to watch the Phillies. Or just any good game to watch the NLDS in general. I appreciate in advance the suggestions!
Previous searches turned up suggestion for Euro Motor Works, but we called them, and they said they don't work on Fiats!
Looking for some help with a 124 Spyder.
I’m coming into town next week and was wondering what the best liquor store in the area would be for a rum enthusiast?
AES is so useless. Have called multiple times to figure out what is going on with my bill. Average bill is around $190. Highest we’ve gotten is $220 in the summer. Out of nowhere we get a bill for $900. Saying we’ve used more than 4 times our KWH usage. Makes no sense? Can’t even get them to give us a solid answer. Like they don’t even know what caused that, everyone we talk to just tells us that seems off but can’t get an answer out of anyone. They came to our house mid month to change the meter. And sent someone else to look at meter but it seems to be working fine according to them. Like there is no way our bill just quadrupled. We have not bought any new appliance nor have changed our usage, on top of that we were gone for 1 week of that period. Has any one else had any issues with them?
Hello!
My laboratory is moving from Florida to Indianapolis, and we are all very excited!
We are LGBT+ and Women so it is important to find inclusive safe places.
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for these places:
Mechanic Veterinarian (bonus points if they see Rats/Exotics!) Primary Care OBGYN Endocrinologist Psychiatrist Pediatrician
Card/gaming store (We are all board/card game nerds)
Do you have adult sports/running groups? Are there good crossfit groups in town?
Other "Third Places"
Very very excited to be in our new home! No more Florida Summer! :D
Have 4 tickets to Everwise show on 10/5. Section 101, Row M. Hoping to get some money back. DM me if interested. Happy to offer any proof
SOLD
Crime is getting so bad. I recognize the Eastside has always had rough spots, but recently it has been a reoccurring thing. Husband and I bought a house off 34th and Emerson tucked in a quiet side street with older neighbors about three years ago. We have the only child in our little area. It’s nice and quiet, people take care of their property, look out for each other, and say hello in passing. Recently, my neighbors have started passing away and property management companies are buying these houses and renting them out to some wild people. I am seeing actual shootings now, my four year old has seen a dead body at the gas station down the street, our vehicle along with everyone around us were broken into. Every time someone on our block calls the police they never come. We are now trying to sell our home and move as far away as possible. The stray animals are also becoming overwhelming. I have a fenced in backyard and I have to go outside with my dog because strays get in and try to attack her. I love the Eastside and my neighbors and my community are some of the best people I have ever met here in Indianapolis, but I cannot take this anymore. I now feel so violated on my property that I feel I need to purchase a gun and carry which I never thought in a million years I would do. 10 years ago when I moved to Indianapolis, I was in love with the city and I felt like we were really trying to get Indianapolis on the map. Now I’m terrified to go outside in the mornings to put my child in his car seat because my back is turned to the road. I’m just so angry with the lack of leadership with the police force, lack of resources for homelessness and animals. I’m angry that my little piece of “the American Dream” is now something we are strongly considering having to sell and rent again just to have some sense of safety back. There’s got to be another solution for this city instead of allowing this to get worse until everyone that can move does and everyone that can’t move are taken advantage of.
This is my first year living in Fountain Square, and one of the things I’ve been looking forward to is passing out candy to trick or treaters. Is there typically a decent turnout in the neighborhood? Also, is there any type of list to put address on for people to know that I will be handing out candy this year? Thanks!
My commute is from the Garfield Park area to west of IU Indy on Michigan. To work in the morning isn't bad (although going up Harding sometimes means a train). It's going home at 4 that the bad drivers come out.
Since I-70 eastbound is pretty slow, even back at Harding, entering at West is almost always the best option. The left hand lane backs up more then the center, and the right lane exits to the west.
I almost always see someone merging to the left from the center to get onto I-70 East, usually at or near the last moment. Heck, they do this from Washington to South West as well (but from the center to the right).
The worst I've seen was a guy who tried to muscle his way in and about sideswiped me just before the turn to I-70. When he didn't get in there, he blew past a few more of us on the left to the on-ramp and muscled his way in there. I'm like, "fine, at least I won't have to deal with him again." Except he merged immediately to the center lane, and when he saw me coming, swerved in front of me. Fortunately the lane that begins when Meridian merges had just started, so I didn't ram him.
Then, the exit to Raymond. My God how did they think this was a good idea? There is almost always someone blocking the intersection. I've had people blocking the intersection flip me off when I honked. They also almost never gain and never lose position if they just stay back, as the lights change to green for them at almost the same time. Sigh, it's the shortest commute I've ever had, and I almost dread leaving work sometimes.
What are some of your worst areas on your commute?
Edit: pup has been found and returned home.
Anybody recognize this guy? I am not very knowledgable about dogs. Tag says it's named Scout, and the addresses listed are downtown and in Martinsville.
Called the name on the tag and haven't heard back yet.
