This. If the rental market is as hot as it sounds, the OP shouldn't be on the hook for more than a couple of months. The landlord cannot just sit on it to rack up rental fees.I agree with the rest, OP has to move to lower COL. Current rent and COL is unsustainable.
As for breaking the lease, he can bail out and then he is only responsible for the rent up to the point the apt is rented out again to a new tenant. Not for the entire 6 months remaining, unless they do not find a new tenant. He is responsible for the lease term, but only if the apt is not re-rented out. The apt owners can't double dip.
I think finding some part-time work is the answer to get through the 6 months if OP wants to stay until lease is up. Keep looking, there will be something that comes up and you meet the needs for the job.
Yes, I know the logical thing is to move out ASAP and go to a more inexpensive spot.
I am afraid that it will be impossible to move into a new apartment in another cheaper town where rent is not $2500 a month like it is in Alexandria/Fairfax County VA.
Every place I have ever rented went through a complete background investigation where they checked my credit, criminal and salary information. The rent could not be any more than 1/3 of my income. Because my unemployment benefits have run out I have no income now at all.
I have applied for hundreds of part time and full time jobs since losing my career job last year, and have got no where. They don't want old, white haired overweight men like me. The jobs now days seem to be set aside for young kids and immigrants.
Being retired for me is not as pleasant as the typical poster on this board to say the least!
