Hi everyone,
For those of you who rent an apartment...
I recently had an interview for a job in the Ft. Wayne, IN area. I haven't heard any good news yet. ;D I live just north of Cincinnati, Ohio, so if I were to get the job, we'd have to move quite a distance. We made the discovery from our apartment manager that job transfers do not qualify for early lease termination. Only military personnel can do so without penalties if they get stationed elsewhere or get deployed for combat duty. In our case (an out of state job transfer) we would owe the remaining months in our lease. Unfortunately we're not rich.
Now this seems ridiculous that I would have to decline this new job offer just because we'll be penalized for breaking our lease. Would be nice if the new employer could take care of our remaining lease balance, but I strongly doubt they'd do it. They do offer relocation reimbursement, however.
What do you guys think we should do? This new job would have to offer a higher pay in order to justify the move. Why move if I'm gonna be paid the same, right? Anyone been in a similar situation or had to break a lease for any reason? Are we just screwed? LOL
