My lease is expiring in less than 2 months and I am currently house hunting. The renewal rates with Irvine company are excessively high for anything with some flexibility. Current rent is $1700. Month to month will be $2300/mo. 13mo lease is 1800/mo. 8mo lease 1900/mo. 4mo lease 2200/mo. That proprety doesn't have an early termination fee so I'm basically liable for the rent til end of lease unless they find another tenant. However, I am not sure why they would try to rent that property before any other given that one would already be paid for. What are my options here to keep some flexibility toward finding a house. The 2300 a month seems really excessive. I guess I could sublet the unit and offer some incentive but that comes with its own headaches. I was thinking of turning it into Airbnb as well once I move out to simply not lose any money but not sure if I would break even and there would be some hassle there.
