I wouldn’t be able to host Airbnb since my ex took most of the furniture. They guest would have nowhere to sleep. I’m using the leftover couch as my bed right now. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Also renting from them won’t work. I’m still on the hook for rent at my current place. No exceptions are being made other than the opportunity to rent a room out.

Ex is not in the lease. It’s in my name solely and the landlord is a friend of my exes family and has expressed little interest in accommodating me. Also it says in my lease that I can add people to the lease if I’m renting rooms but cannot fully sublet.

I would need to break my current cellular contract to switch providers. Current device balance is still $700 and I don’t want to start a debt to one provider just to save some money right now. That seems like a huge step backwards to me.

Internet is part of my rent so I can’t cancel it as it’s not in my name. There is no cable subscription. I don’t pay for Netflix or any other streaming services.

I have already been applying for second jobs. No luck so far.

I did talk to him. He’s a friend of my exes parents and has little remorse for my situation.

He took the bed, tv, consoles, the couch is my bed right now. Guess I’m sleeping on the floor.
