Would it be worth it to break my lease and move to a different apartment for 1 year to save $12K total? Or should I stay in my current place and then move next summer when lease is up? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

How much would the move cost you? Would you stay in the new apartment indefinitely or just a year? How much would your landlord charge you to break the lease? What are the pros/cons of each apartment? [ Reply | More

op: the move would cost $1-2k. I would stay there just a year. The landlord would work with me because it's in the same building. The new apartment is same square footage, but is divided into 3 real bedrooms so DCs would each have their own smallish rooms, instead of sharing one. [ Reply | More

And it's $1k cheaper per month. Just not sure whether it's worth the hassle of moving. They would raise the rent on either place after 1 year. [ Reply | More

seems like there's a lot in favor of moving: saving money AND kids getting their own rooms. [ Reply | More

I guess it depends on how much $10K means to you. It would mean a lot to me. [ Reply | More

Are you guaranteed your original place back after the year? Do you know if you will eat any security/deposit money doing this? [ Reply | More

You need to get that sorted in writing from your landlord before you agree to anything. [ Reply | More

Are you the one from the other night who wants to move in the same building? If so, then YES, do it. [ Reply | More

Yes, move. It will force you to kondo your things as you pack. You’ll feel so much lighter figuratively and literally in terms of possessions and the burden they carry. [ Reply | More
