Break lease

Hi all,

I’m breaking the lease on a furnished apartment in Brisbane CBD. It’s reasonably priced, and I’ve paid the required fees, including advertising. The property is listed, but they’ve only had one application in over a month.

I had to ask for the link to the listing since it wasn’t easy to find. The real estate agent will also close their office over Christmas, so no progress will happen then. Meanwhile, I’m still paying rent until a new tenant is found.

Has anyone dealt with this? What could I do?

Thanks!
