    Advertising was about $150 in 2009.

    there was also the removal fees, but you'll pay those whenever you move. Is this something you can suck up for another X months or is the pain not worth it? How long have you been there? If you don't think they'll get new tenants then it may be worth advertising yourself. Or just staying.

    We have also moved into a house where the previous tenant broke the lease. They were paying higher rent and they had to keep paying the difference until the end of the lease.

    if the house isn't fit for human habitation,you could go through the tenancy board to break the lease.

    The conditions of breaking the lease are all laid out in your lease agreement that you signed, and they should have supplied a copy to you.

    It's just old and horrible but I guess it's fit - we haven't even fully moved in yet - it's in seachange town that we are moving to and all our stuff is down there and it's cheap which is a good thing seeing as neither of us have jobs. We just had trouble finding something so took this one and of course since we took it about 3 more have come up that would work much better I think we should just suck it up but DH might call the agent and being such a small town will see what they say. Thanks hun.
