Jen M | Cancel apartment lease early, got sued? |
What a rip! My husband had an apartment before we bought our house. It was our only opportunity to buy our house, so he had to cancel lease just 3-4 months early. We got sued, and have to pay them over $5000! Anything we can do?
Additional Details
Thanks for the rude comments, some people on here are complete a**es! Just so you know he owed 4 months max and his rent was only $495 a month, which would make it $2000 that we owed max. We offered to pay the remaining months but they wouldnt agree to that without us living there and they also kept the security deposit. No more rude answers please. |

No that is why they made you sign a lease so that you would pay what you were owed.
You should have tried to sublet it to someone who would pay the rent (or most of it) so that the landlord did not lose money and sue you for it. |

Read the terms of the lease and also the local real estate rental laws. In most areas this is totally legal although the dollar limit varies by jurisdiction. The whole purpose of a one-year lease is to protect the landlord from early departures who leave the apartment vacant and therefore take away the landlord's income. You entered into a contract to rent the apartment for a year and you broke the contract so you're liable for damages to the landlord. |

Your problem is that he DID NOT cancel his lease. Just because he moved out doesn't mean the lease was cancelled. Unless he got written notice from the management company saying that they were letting him out of it, he still owes for the remaining months on the lease. The lease contractually obligated him to pay his monthly rent for a certain number of months. The fact that he decided to buy a house and move is irrelevant. He owes the money, and now that you have been sued and there is a judgement in court, you must pay it. |

Apparently you didn't read the lease!
If you don't make it a habit to read your contracts, especially when it involves something major like this (or at least have a lawyer look at it beforehand), then you're going to be in for many more rude awakenings. |

This will have to do alot with how your lease is written. I'm sure that the landlord can charge you for the 3-4 months rent you had remaining on your lease plus te security deposit if you did not follow the lease requirements for early termination. If your lease had no such clauses' then take him to small claims court. |

That is very possible. The landlord probably sued him for the rent and court expenses. |

If you had tried to negotiate with the landlord and found another renter or someone to sublease maybe they would have worked with you! But this is the law, if you hadn't signed the lease you would have been a month to month tenant and therefore only required to give 30 days notice in most states! But Good Luck with your house! |

What do you expect if u did not notify them and probably if u did u probably would not owe them almost 5000.00, that your own fault. |

Unfortunately, he signed a contract for those 3-4 months that he is responsible for even if he moved out. Just like any other contract. The landlord was right to enforce the lease. If he held on to the deposit as well, there may have been cleaning issues and damage. You should have received an itemized list of the charges against the deposit within 30 days. Obviously a judge agreed with the accounting, so, no, there is nothing to do but pay it. The judgement will be on your credit also. So it is in your best interest to pay it. |
