My husband and I rent a home in San Diego Ca and it has become too expensive for us. We pay $1500 plus utilities. We can no longer afford to pay the rent. In our opinion we are over paying anyway based on the condition of the house. The landlord has not made any of the repairs we brought to his attention 6 months ago when we moved in. Anyway, we received an offer for a unit through Military Housing. We still have 6 months on our lease on this home, but like I said we simply can not afford it, we barely scrape by and I mean SCRAPE BY. The military housing will not cost us a dime. Does anyone know how we can break our lease? Our new place is ready for move-in. Since we will be going to military housing, we will no longer get our allowance effective immediately. So we do not have the money to pay anymore rent to the landlord. My husband can get orders from his command saying he is detached from his current residence and is to move in to the base housing, but the landlord still doesn't want to work with us even though he said he would if need be when we signed the lease.
