Unfortunately, most places out here (that I've found at least) all required a one year lease. Which I find kind of unreasonable, since most students are only here for 8 months, but I guess landlords don't want to have an empty place and miss out on money for the other four months.
Anyways thanks for all the websites you guys have been posting, they've been pretty helpful. I'm going to keep doing some reading up on this, and eventually talk to my landlord about what he's willing to negotiate. In the mean time, I guess I will keep hoping I can find someone to sublet!
But yeah, thanks again guys!
