Hi everyone,
I signed a year long lease but 4 months into the lease, I realize that its putting too much of a strain on my finances (I signed the lease 2 weeks after arriving the US. I was a desperate student and I didnt think much about it!) I want to sublet the apartment and move to cheaper accomodations. I called my leasing office and I was told subletting is not allowed but the subletting clause on my lease says
"The lessee shall not assign nor underlet any part of the whole of the leased premises, nor shall permit the leased premises to be occupied for a period longer than a temporary visit by anyone except the individuals specifically named in the first paragraph of this lease, their spouses, and any children born to them during the term of this lease or any extension or renewal thereof without first obtaining on each occassion the assent in writing of the lessor"
What exactly does this mean and what can I do? Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you...
