Landlord declining application
We have 3 months left on our lease and we are moving to a different province. So, we are finding someone who can live in the apartment in our place and it's going to be a new lease, not a sublease.
The manager declined an application(4 occupants) saying that the 2 bed unit is not suitable for more than 3 occupants even though they approved our application for the unit as 4 adult occupants.
When I asked why they approved us, he said it might have been a mistake.
Additionally he said the pet policy is they dog cannot exceed 40lbs there are literally 10-15 units with dogs way bigger that 40lbs and he said they applicants must have lied about the dog's weight and it's between the tenant and the management to figure that out and not my(as in me, not the manger) concern.
What should I do in this situation, I don't want to pay this coming month's rent as we won't be living there anymore?
