However, instead of allowing us to break our lease, as originally discussed, our current landlord is “allowing us to sublet.” Which I think is bullshit, given that the people who left before we did (including Jacquie) were not required to perform a short-term sublet. Not acceptable at all. I’m going to give the downstairs neighbor first dibs, and if he wants to lease our section we’ll go in on it with him for a discount. Otherwise, it’s going to turn into a fight, and I don’t want a fight. Well, maybe not a fight. But I’m not willing to do a sublet at all — period. I’ll pay rent and leave it vacant before I do that.
