Input: My fiancé and I will be moving across the country (Philadelphia --&gt; west coast) for the summer for his MBA internship. The company he is interning with gives interns $2,000/month post tax to spend on living expenses (i.e. rent). The area of the west coast we will be in is pretty expensive and we will likely end up having to pay close to $3,000/month or more, meaning we are likely still looking at paying 1,000/month out of pocket. 

Here is where the debate comes in: He wants to sublet our place in Philadelphia over the summer and I do not. We are currently paying $2,400 here in Philadelphia so we would likely charge in the ballpark of $2,300 for the sublet with a refundable deposit of $1,000. I understand that this would save us a ton of money and we’d also likely come out of it with a profit by the end of the summer, but I just think subletting is way too risky and not worth the hassle. We would leave mostly all of our belongings behind with the exception of the clothes we take with us and perhaps renting a storage unit to put valuables in over the summer.

Maybe I have been on the Legal Advice subreddit too much, but I am very afraid of having a stranger move into our apartment for 3 months with all our belongings. What if the subletter decides they don’t want to leave at the end of the summer? What if the subletter causes damage that costs more than the security deposit? What if the subletter doesn’t admit they are a smoker and we come back to an apartment filled with cigarette smoke? What if the subletter steals from us and we do not even realize it until they are long gone? To be honest, it also just weirds me out to have a stranger living in our apartment for 3 months sleeping in our bed, using our furniture and kitchen supplies, and having our clothes still mostly still left behind. It also just feels like a huge hassle to be completely honest and I know I would mostly get stuck with figuring out all of the logistics of the sublet (I work a full time job).

So what do you think – am I an asshole for depriving us of saving money and instead costing us money over the summer because I do not want to deal with a subletter?
