Breaking a lease doesn't have nearly as severe consequences as defaulting a mortgage. Most cases they just keep your deposit, if they know they aren't likely to be able to get anything more from you, because you have no assets. So yeah, if it's important, you could ditch the job and the rental and move somewhere you can afford on UBI.
- closeparen 9y agoDo reputable landlords rent to people who have broken leases recently? Do they even pass job background checks that include credit history? I can peacefully exit my lease by paying an extra month's rent as a termination fee, but if I abandoned the apartment and couldn't come up with the termination fee, I'm pretty sure it would be the same, or a little worse, than being in default on any other debt.
