Breaking Lease due to newborn
I have lived in a fairly dilapidated old Queenslander with my Fiancee for the past 4 years. It has had its fair share of issues, holes in the floorboards, tiles falling off the shower etc. but overall it has been good enough. The only issue has been the heat over the summers. There is no ceiling fans or aircon, and even if there was the insulation between rooms is so rubbish that it's impossible to keep anything cool. We preciously used a portable aircon before it broke from struggling, and it was just too expensive to replace.
The temperatures are consistently hotter than outside, pretty regularly reaching high 30s with high humidity. Typically we can deal with this as we saved some money to move out. About 2 months ago we resigned the 12 month lease.
After signing We discovered that we are expecting a kid early next year. I do not think that there is anyway that we could safely raise a baby in the house, even if ceiling fans or the like were put in. I think we will likely need to break the lease to look for a safer house, and I have no idea about the best steps to take to save as much money as we can in doing so.
Has anybody been in a similar situation or have any advice?
