We rented a small Villa and have signed a year lease. We have given the landlord $1,200 security and the first and last months rent. We are moving back home on the 7th of February and the Landlord is making us pay for the full months rent and there after until she rents the house again. We cannot afford to pay the $1,065.00 a month on top of our apartment rent back home. The stress has been so unbearable on the both of us and has now affected our health. I have a serious health condition and am now having problems with it due to all the stress. The landlord is not budging for us at all. We know that we are breaking the lease and really feel bad about it but what were we supposed to do if we couldn't find work?
Please help. We both are very distraught over this and we only have enough money to get us back home for my partner to start his old job back. Is there another way that we can get out of this without her taking us to the cleaners financially?
