Apartment Lease?

I currently live in an apartment, but would like to move out early. My lease is up in the middle of August, but if I pay my rent at the apartment, and it is vacant for a month or so, can the apartments do anything? (Fines, etc.?) Everything will be paid for, I will be doing double duty for a month or so……

Do I move in or bail out?

So, I think I found an apartment, but now I’m not so sure. I found a really cute place, nice roommate, great neighborhood, really cheap rent. It’s just that the apartment is really, really small.And I have a LOT of stuff. And the cost of putting things in storage is prohibitive (essentially negating the point of the cheap rent). And I’m so stressed about cramming all of my stuff in there that I’m awake with a stomachache at 12:30 in the morning. I like my stuff. I’m a nester. I like my 340 CDs, books, 56 pairs of shoes, and big comfy sofa.

But I already told the roomie that I’d move in. Should I bail on him? Move in anyway and hope for the best? Cram boxes with friends all over town? Help!
Extra detail: I can’t loft my bed, the ceiling is too low.
I like my stuff – I find familiar clutter really comforting. So I wrote the guy a really nice email saying that while I would love to live with him, I just can’t live in that apartment. I like space and I like my junk. (Especially since I’m in the middle of getting divorced, I want my security blanket of useless crap.)

I’ve never lived on my own before. What % of my take-home salary should I plan to spend on rent & utilities?

I went to see the movie “Failure to Launch” and decided to leave my parents home. I am going to get an apartment close to work to cut down on the amount of gas I’ll have to buy — have a vehicle that only gets 14 miles to the gallon. I am planning on a two bedroom apartment so I won’t have to pay to put items in storage. Also, if things get really tight, I guess I could get a roommate, but I think it’s important for me to show myself that I can live on my own. I’ll be broke, but happier, I think.
I live in Phoenix, Arizona
Right now, my rent and utilities will be 50% of my salary.

Are there any condos, or apartments for senior adults for rent?

Is it a good idea to move from Chicago to Las Vegas to start a new business in mortgage?

Now I am working in a Mortgage Company in Chicago with stable salary and I own a condo and a car. Our company is expanding to Las Vegas, I’d like to know if I shall move to Las Vegas to start a new branch office over there? I will be the office manager, but my income will be commission based with totally new market. I have no idea Las Vegas’s real estate industry and mortgage market, and what will be my new career future in Las Vegas? I m a single girl. Just seperated with BF. Shall I sell my condo in Chicago before I move to Las Vegas or keep it, in case later, i can come back Chicago if the market is not good in LV. How can I keep my condo here in Chicago, rent it out, who take care of the rent and maintainence? It is a big challenge choice for me. thanks and look forward to getting your instant response.
