[quote=TexasLine][quote=sdrealtor]If you are month to month I’d stay. Moving is a hassle and is not cheap.[/quote]
I guess what I failed to convey is that the rent increase is causing me financial stress,…so to speak. So a move is probably inevitable.
And it would be nice to save some $ by moving towards the neighborhood/region that is my “Target” home buying area.
But again, I wonder about breaking the lease when I find the “house”, to buy.[/quote]
How much (percentage-wise) was the lease increased ?
If it is 10% or less and causes financial stress, then I would suggest that buying a property within 6 months should not be a major consideration for you.
In today’s rental market it is not that difficult to find 6-month leases. You may pay a little more for that flexibility, but it might be worth it. Even properties that are advertised for 12-month leases will many times consider 6-month.
