Go with you gut feelings thats why we have it. Get promises in writing when youre dealing with your employer. That makes it a legal binding. If they cannot commit to you in that fashion then by all means do not make a personal financial decision for them especially when you will be the victim of circumstances.

Just let the leasing office know that you were laid off and that you can't afford it anymore. They should work something out with you in this economy. Dump the apartment.

I was prommised that my job was secure when I accepted the promotion. It was secure until someone who is friends with my old employers Senior VP needed a job. So they gave him mine and laid me off instead. I should have lost an 11 million dollar account, then I would still be working. I got laid off last August after working for 7 years.

Don't go broke paying for an apartment you don't even want. I would just move out, hand in the keys and be done with it. Don't pay another dime and don't let pride kill your finances.

If you have some proof like anything in writing, an e-mail, witnesses who were told/heard the same thing. Recoup the cost of the unwanted apt.

Probably my lowest moment in life (or one of the worst) was beingliterally standing out in the sunshine, with cold heartless people driving by in their cars, while I was unable to pay my rent after job loss. I had to use a credit card for instant cash to pay my $400 rent. Still paying off the card today. I am so sorry.
