The general rule of thumb for the percentage of gross income that should be allocated to rent is 25%. Based on her income, that's roughly $1,000/month. I believe that if she can find someone to takeover he lease, the penalty for early termination of the lease could be forgiven. If that's not the case, once her lease is up, I'd suggest that she look for rentals that fall within that figure. This will free up $400/month that can be put towards her debt.
