Hello everyone. Ok strange "question" um... I am pretty much in the "beginning stages" of a break up. My question is, we live together and the lease is up in November. WOuld you wait for the lease to be up and then move ? (4 and half more months...) or just move now? My name is on the lease and I'm not quite sure how all that would work.... just curious !

Thanks all

If the situation is unbereable and somewhat dangerous you should move out now. Keep in mind that if you move out and nobody takes your place on the lease you'll have to pay a penalty, which is around 2000.00 split between the two parties. If you want to move out then place an ad to get a roommate for your ex and you won't pay a penalty. However, it'd be hard to find a person that wants to move in for 4 months only.

If the situation is amicable then you could suck it up till November and remain where you are. Break ups are a mess and ususally living in the same home doesn't help.

stay until you are ready to go... you will know when to say when. I was with someone for 6 years, lived together for 5. The last two I owned place we lived. Wished it was only I lease and I could pick up and leave... I had my moment where I just said that's it! If you aren't completely broken up yet, just stay until you finally say to yourself "enough." Be strong, you'll know when you're ready... trust me. Look at all your possible options. Hang out with friends and keep yourself busy.
