Beyond that period you could do so, knowing that you forfeit your earnest money (if relevant in your state).Regarding revising the price -- In my opinion I'd say if your local market is going to pot because everybody, or most bodies, are in your situation then it COULD be worth talking to your agent about. 

Perfect time to buckle down, drink a pot of coffee, and find some leads.

Even though pot is legal in Canada, if your lease says you are not allowed to smoke it in the house, the lease stands. 

If its their cooking, it may be a little more sensitive but also could be helped by getting a ducted vent hood.. 

(Side note: Black beans and rice is like the house hacking of cooking.

I sacrificed by working two jobs, 80 hour weeks, clipping every coupon possible before going to the market, shopping around to find the best deal on essentials, living in a cramped one bedroom apartment, walking to work, not going on vacations, cooking at home, saving and investing every penny I could by living well below our means.

Spending quality time with my girlfriend, cooking meals from scratch, watching a ton of movies.

@Justin JonesHi Justin,I do not recall how much it would be for two, that was a long time ago lol.....however my grocery bill for a family of 5 (my kids are all under 8 but they eat like teenagers), is regularly $500-600 a month. 85% or greater of our meals is home cooked.

I know I need to provide the basics: dishware, cooking utensils, pots/pans. - Do you provide more things like a hair dryer? 

The gas is separated for the units as far as the gas hot water heaters & cooking but the thermostat is only in the upstairs apartment to control the heat for both apartments.
