This is often hard. Even if you find a new place and move, your landlord will come after you for the remaining rent on the lease. If you don't succeed, you'll have a ding on your credit report that makes it harder to get a home loan and may make it nearly impossible to find places to rent.
Yep. Basically couldn’t move again for 3 years because we broke lease. Eventually went on an online campaign telling my tail. Company contacted me. They Agreed to remove negative remarks. And send me my deposit.
They tried to get me to sign paper work saying I couldn’t talk about.
I refused. They still sent sent Money and removed neg marks. Its not justice, but at least I can get housing again.
Damn. I never tried that in the US so I assume it would be fine, but I guess that infamous credit score system really is preventing you from doing that. When I was in England I just stopped paying my rent when I had issues with my landlord and they just fixed the issues. In France it’s also pretty common to not pay the last month when you want to leave so they’re forced to use the deposit for that. Unfortunately a lot of landlords are quite shitty and that’s a good way to deal with them.
