[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will probably get some hate, but I think you owe it to your AP to tell her as soon as you know what your plans are.  You agreed to host her for a full year and are now breaking your end of the deal.  If she wants to find a new host family now so that she has a longer time to be with them, she should be able to do so.[/quote]

Both of you agreed on a 1-year contract, which you are breaking and are at the same time worrying your AP might break if she learns you need her out early. Where is the difference? It's not her who wants to initiate rematch but you, on your conditions.

She has much better chances to find a rematch family now, with 7 months left, than she might have in June with only 3 months (or less, if you are now at the 5 month mark I assume she arrived in early August? That would leave her with just (over) 2 months at the beginning on June) left if she doesn't want to extend. I doubt your AP will find a summer gig for June and July only.
You also have better chances to find a new AP to stay with you until your departure now than in March or April (you might even find an AP interested in a 6 months extention now rather than having to opt for a rematch AP for a few months in March or April).

Tell her now or at least as soon as your plans are finalized. And get your LCC on board as early as possible so that she can support your AP in rematch.
You wouldn't want to be blindsided by your AP announcing rematch at the last minute, neither does your AP.[/quote]
