I'd be more miserable living in fear that I would face eviction if I couldn't pay my rent.

Not to mention, a person can always keep searching for their preferred job while working "any job".

If there is no money to pay rent you don't sit around and wait for a eviction. You let the landlord that you are leaving and by what date since the money has stopped coming in.

Yes. And the landlord still has every right to expect you to abide by any early termination clause, unpaid balances etc according to the states laws and the lease.

Well the tenant would just try and pay that in the future since they have to leave the apt due to no more cash flow

explain 'try' to the judge. explain' try' to the IRS when they had your tax return over to your landlord. explain 'try' to your employer when the judgment/garnishment against you takes a nice portion of your paycheck. Explain 'try' to your 'lady friend' when you show her the portion of the bridge you live under and why you're feeding her canned mackerel and rice instead of a nice steak dinner. And to think, you were embarrassed about your apartment. lol

And explain why you didn't take that offered job so you could avoid those problems because it might make you "miserable".

I was once it a situation where husband lost his job and my income was not sufficient to pay the rent for more than a few months, and we had approximately 8 months left on our lease. We went to the LLs and explained the situation and they did let us out of our lease and thankfully were able to re-rent the unit before we moved out.

Bad luck can happen to anyone at anytime. Being upfront and honest with your creditors is the right thing to do.
