Do you think his boss is rigid?!

If your husband leaves his job, you will gain nothing because you won't be able to buy the house anyway.

900 sq ft isn't that small. If it's only 2 bedrooms, do you have both a living room and a dining room? or a very big dining room? I would see if there is a way to adjust your apartment to make it more convenient. (FWIW I have 9 kids in 1000 sqft. Careful use of space is the real trick.)

It seems that more than the living space, the feeling that you are being pushed around is bothering you. The thing is that your husband is being paid a very high salary to keep those conditions. A different job would pay way less. So you have to consider whether the conditions are worth the salary. Which brings us back to the first point. You can't buy the house without the salary. You can't keep the salary without the conditions. So you can't have the house without these conditions. Try looking at a 5 yr perspective. In 5 yrs you will have the money, your husband will have an excellent work reputation and credit. Then you can look further.

Whether the boss is rigid is not the issue. Your dh signed a contract and obligated himself to the boss’s terms. If he needs someone there until 1/2 hour before Shabbos, then he’s entitled to expect that from someone who read the contract, agreed and signed to it. If your dh knew it was in the cards to perhaps move further away, he should’ve considered that before agreeing to the terms.

Right now he’s obligated to abide by those requirements or else be ready to find another job.

He’s not obligated in anything . He can tell the boss that he changed his mind . And the boss can tell him he’s fired . Or the boss can decide to keep him because he’s a great worker . But the contract doesn’t mean anything because the boss could fire him for any reason at any time .
