[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 383300, member: 4264"] I would speak to the people with the 2 year lease option without deposit. I'd say I don't at all intend to leave before lease expires, however with this economy I want to cover bases in case of lay offs or something unforseen as of today that could crop up. Ask if they can add a clause that you give 2 months notice in lieu of completing the lease ONLY in the event of unexpected job loss. It can't hurt to ask. Also, what happens there if you ARE in a lease and give notice before hand? Here in Canada usually what happens is you are liable if it stands empty BUT it is the landlords responsability to advertise the rental and show it in good faith to try to rent it out. I've never been unable to get out of a lease so long as the landlord has 2 months notice, they have ALWAYS been rented for a easy turnover. Personally I think I'd take the risk. 2 years isn't a crazy long commitment and the financial part seems good. It is terrific you could avoid a rental deposit and get some furniture and terrific that they have lowered the rent to accomodate you. It sounds like they are covering their butts with a lease, but their flexibility to get you to rent it sounds like they are good people. Maybe not even mention my first paragraph if you are willing to take a leap of faith. What if your job is secure in 2 years and you lived in a small place for x length of time, repaid all those costs to move once again for difficult child, and the job is perfectly stable and you missed a good place? What if you are rushed with a release time for difficult child and haven't found a bigger and suitable place you can afford? See, it could work both ways in terms of worrying. Worrying is a vicious cycle. For me, I think if I was in your shoes I'd take that leap of faith. Also, if you would have been squirreling away funds for a move from a 1 bedroom to a larger place, you could stash funds to help you if something gosh forbid did happen at work. To help you cover rent while you pound pavement for a new position. And truly, with foreclosure etc your credit must have some dings right now. If worse comes to worse you could use credit counselling about a broken lease if dire times came upon you. Ultimately its up to you. I say go with your gut, it rarely steers anyone wrong. I say weigh your personal pros and cons and use that along with your gut and just leap. I believe things are falling into place for you and I believe you will make whatever the right choice is for you. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
