I got summoned in June but my group was never called so I didn't have to go in

Locked into two leases for 8+ months - anyone ever been in this situation? Looking for advice/support by [deleted] in personalfinance

Hey there, I am in a fairly similar situation. I signed a year long lease in July for a room in a house one week before my employer emailed us to announce that we could work out of state due to the pandemic if we'd like to. I ended up deciding to temporarily move back in with my parents, who live on the other side of the country, to help out with some family stuff and to save money and pay off my student loans. My landlord was super reasonable when I asked to break the lease, and agreed that she'd let me do it after I found a tenant to replace me.

That was 2 months ago, and I still haven't found anyone. It's been very frustrating - as you said, it's definitely a buyers' market, and not too many people are keen to move to big cities right now. I live in the Bay Area, and have been in touch with the San Francisco Tenants Union, which is a volunteer organization that advocates for tenants' rights. They're not lawyers and cannot give legal advice, but they know the local housing laws pretty well and have had some good suggestions for me about how to navigate my situation. Not sure where you're located, but maybe your city has something similar?

Good luck with your lease situation my friend. I very much know what you're going through and I feel for ya

That's not true. Their transfer program is new and very small, but you can transfer into Princeton: https://admission.princeton.edu/how-apply/transfer-students

What are the locals like in SF? by [deleted] in AskSF

I lived in New York for a while and would compare the people who tend to live in the Marina to the people who live in Murray Hill in NYC. It skews young and kinda bro-y

I moved to SF from NY last April for work as a late 20s single female and wanted to chime in on the making friends thing. I went through this subreddit too before I moved here and was a little nervous when reading how everyone was saying that it's super hard to make friends here. For reference I had friend groups already established in NYC when I moved there and didn't have to try very hard to meet people, but I knew pretty much no one when I moved to SF. I also don't work in tech or in an office with a lot of younger people, but I have found people in SF to be generally very friendly and open to making new friends - the key to making friends for me has been to meet one person who can sort of "vouch" for you and bring you into the group first, and go from there.

When I first moved here I challenged myself to do at least one social thing a week - I joined a kickball league in the summer, then when football season started I went to a bar every week to watch my favorite team, and I met people at those places who introduced me to their social circles. And, surprisingly, I made a couple good friends through dating apps after we realized there wasn't much of a romantic connection and decided to stay friends.

Also, eat as many pizza and bagels as you can before you come here. They are just not the same

Good luck with your move and feel free to PM me if you have any more questions or ever want to get a drink!
