<prompt> Human: Im already looking for a sublet. No success yet. Any advice on how to avoid this loss?  <response>: If you signed a contract. find a sublet. If not, you lose.You can sweeten the deal. I took over a lease once. The previous renter kept the place nice and told me I could keep the deposit. It was only 800 or so, but its still a nice bonus for someone taking over a lease. After cleaning and everything I got about 500 or her money back when I moved out 8 months later.If you really need to bail, you can try and sweeten up that deal with the 500 to get someone to move in.If youre not allowed to transfer the lease or sublet... youre kinda screwed.
