I recently moved into my own place 3 weeks ago and signed a 2 year lease with the option to cease at 1 year-- because I had no tax return or proof of income, they required me to give them 4 months rent up front + 6 week deposit.
I love my flat but I'm 90% at sure at this point I'm going to move in with my boyfriend, my rent is so freaking high at this place ($2,400 a month NOT including bills) and he has offered to take care of the rent/bills and whatnot so I can focus on getting out of my job and working a regular one, which is what I want at this point. I am truly burnt out on sex work and need a break. And I honestly love him and want to spend every day with him, which I pretty much do no anyway.
We've spoken about this and he doesn't seem to think it's going to be a big deal for me to break the lease, but I am really concerned about having any kind of black mark on my record as it's already incredibly difficult for me to find a place being self-employed. While I of course hope we're going to be living together forever, I'm not that naive. I would love to keep my place for the rest of the lease, but could not get away with subletting without my landlord finding out. My place is in a great area and it's a good price for what it is, it was quite competitive to get it, so I don't see how they would have a problem finding a new tenant, but I signed a legal document and I feel like they're going to make my life hell to get out of it.
We basically spend every night together anyway, but I would like to be officially out of here sometime between November 3rd and November 7th, as I plan to continue working until then to build up savings and assume it will take a few weeks to work this shit out with the agency. As of now my rent is paid until the end of January, and I know the likelihood of getting any of that back is extremely low, it would be fucking lovely to get it back, but it's not a deal breaker for me. The two things that are important to me are a) getting my $3,100 deposit back and b) not getting taken to court for rent/having an eviction notice on my record/having ANY kind of black mark on my record.
Does anyone have any advice as to what the best way to go would be?
