<prompt> Human: I will ultimately have to break my lease, and I wont have any money to pay for the fee, which will be 1600ish. There will also have to be a carpet replacement, since my dog tore it up -- so Im ultimately looking at 2,500ish. I have 4 months left in the lease. I called the property management company, advised of my situation, but they said they wouldnt be able to work anything out outside of:1 Paying the lease-breaking fee2 Finding someone to subletOption 2 will be difficult, if not impossible, as the carpets are torn up, have stains, and have residual odor from dog pee. Option 1 will be difficult as well, as I have literally no money to put towards that. They will not accept a payment plan, and stated the fee must be paid in one lumpsum. I was planning on just advising them of the date I was moving out, and letting them know I will make monthly payments towards the balance once I have another flow of income available. Now, my concern is going to court. Will the property management company take me to court if Im making monthly payments? I was also going to advise them that I may be considering bankruptcy if they will not accept the monthly payments, and take me to court. Would this be something recommended?I guess Im just really lost. Its hard to really think clearly and find a proper way to handle this, because this whole circumstance was caused by me finding out my long term girlfriend cheated on me. She dumped on Thanksgiving with zero empathy. I ended up being late the first 3 days back to work, and ended up losing my job. I really, really could use some suggestions here. Im barely holding it together, and as ashamed as I am, the thought of suicide has crossed my mind more times in this past week than it has in my entire life. The breakup absolutely destroyed my life, in every capacity.  <response>: Can you take out a loan and pay the lump some then pay the bank in payments? Im unsure how all that stuff works. If not, 4 months rent is cheaper than the 2500ish fee. Sell anything you can, gaming systems, any luxuries and you can replace them once a new job comes! If you Have a car maybe sell it and downgrade a bit, just until you can upgrade again. keep it up man. And as for the girlfriend issue: every single break up Ive had I am thankful for because it led to someone better I didnt know was possible. Get through the next few months and I promise you it will all get better. I am so thankful for every break up i have ever had. It all gets better always. I cant stress this enough: money can be made back, and break ups ALWAYS lead to something better, chin up, you have us here
