Got it, Thanks.
No, you missed
travelmad478's point. It is simply that it doesn't matter what you do. The owner in this case had made a calculated business decision and has built the risk that he is stuck with an empty unit into his business decision. Maybe he figures that if you can subsidize 50% of the cost and not occupy the place, he can use it or give it to friends.
Cancel now or cancel later as you choose.
