So we just did a year at this place, me and 3 roommates. We all work together. They were very gung-ho about signing another year lease. This was signed at the beginning of July. My name is not on lease, only 2/4 of us signed. I didn't really want to commit to another year, but was pressured into because of reasons like
>"well if we all don't stay then we're screwed because we don't have a deposit saved up or another place to even move to so we should probably just stay here right? yeah? okay settled."
Thats pretty much how it went down. I felt guilted into staying because if I don't then I put 3 of my friends/coworkers in a pickle because then they're either forced out, have to make up the financial difference, or have to find another roommate which is difficult because of the location of the house (~20 min drive from town, another reason why I want to leave)
I want out of this house but feel forced to stay. Wat do?
i recommend you stick it out you did agree , and next year 3 months before the lease is to be signed for another year tell them you are leaving once the lease is up , this will give them time to find either a money for the difference or b another roommate.
