  Mace: 'They Billed Me $12,000' After Breaking Her Lease, in What She Called 'a Domestic Situation'

  On the Mario Nawfal show on X on October 2, 2026, with co-host Brandon J. Weichert, Rep. Nancy Mace described renting a two-bedroom apartment in Charleston, South Carolina 'when I was in a hard time,' for 'about six months.' She said: 'when I broke my lease, they charged me like $12,000. And it was like a domestic situation. So I felt the right that I was in danger and wanted to move where I was. And they billed me $12,000 for it.' Her account is unverified by Maceopedia. She did not say who billed her or say more about the 'domestic situation,' and this entry does not either. Every quote below is verbatim from the show, checked against the audio.
