Long story short, you all know I've been trying to sublease our rental house. Found a great young couple about 2 weeks ago. He's military and they have 2 big labs so they wanted to just sublease the house through Dec (end of our lease) to get out of their tiny apartment and then they weren't sure if they would be moving to Tampa or not after that.
I emailed the owner to let her know they would like to apply and told her their situation, she set up a meeting to go over their application and meet them. On Sunday, we all met, everything went well, they signed a check for the application fee and planned to send us proof of income on Monday.
Last night, my landlord emailed me that everything looked fine and as long as the background checks turned up fine, they would be approved to sublease. Yay! Half my house is already packed up, we were counting on being out by this weekend so they could move in on the 1st.
This morning I have a message on my phone to call landlord, I call her and she states she does not feel comfortable having them here for 2.5 months only, something must be wrong with them. I effing lose it on her. If she had a problem with a short term tenant she should have told me that 2 months ago when we started this process and furthermore should not have let these poor people go through with the application process or strung me along until the last minute.
I was so mad when I got off the phone with her I was shaking and I just started crying at my desk. Then I went to lunch with my friend and had 2 mimosas ![]()
The silver lining is that she agreed to let us out of our lease 45 days early, so we are done at the end of Oct, although I'm totally skeptical of this until we get it in writing.

Re: The sublease saga continues, long
Ok. Thanks for filling me in, I don't know where i've been.
I'm sorry your current landlord is being dumb.
That really, really sucks. She never should've agreed to a short-term sublease if she didn't feel comfortable with it.
Hopefully she'll actually let you out of your lease at the end of October.
She emailed me last night with an offer in writing to terminate the lease early, so looks like it's a done deal.
So we are officially moving next weekend, I can't wait to get out of there!
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?
