Take a job at a large company that won't fail for a while until you build up again? Most startups fail; it's like playing the lottery. You can always still do Startup Weekend and the like, teams there usually don't work for pay, so it's a cheap way to continue failing (and learning with each) while still not being limited to only working alone.

Re rent, see if you can move back home or in with a friend. I know lots of people who crash on a couch of a friend or two for a while in between places. Landlords I've talked to are pretty forgiving if you have to break a lease, as long as you move out immediately. They often have to deal with tenants who can't pay, but won't leave either (and thus have to be evicted). So they are often happy to just get the room free to rent to someone who actually can pay.
