Read the lease throughly. Some leases allow you to break the lease if you pay the landlord a certain sum.

Once you break a lease the landlord has to make a good faith effort to rent the apartment again. For example, if you moved out in December but the lease doesn't end until February, the landlord cannot not just collect rent from you without trying to rent the apartment immediately. If the landlord rents the apartment during December, you would only have to pay the prorated amount. If he wasn't able to rent it until January, you would have to pay for December , but not for January. However, you may have to pay legal fees, cleaning, etc.

Sometimes you might be able to leave. Depends on the Landlord, some may be okay with subletting if you get the people and they don't have to advertise or try and find a subleasee.

Better have a good excuse...landlords HATE that! If not done properly, you could get sued.


marky16marky16
yes, but most lease have penalty clause for breaking the lease

i am a landlord.... in BC Canada. I am sure every province and state has their own Landlord Tenant laws and I would find out EXACTLY what yours is! In B.C., the landlord would not have a leg to stand on. Of course a tenant can leave with 1 full months notice... even with a signed 1 year lease.

Yes, but you could be liable for the balance of the year if the landlord can not find someone to replace you. Best case senerio, you will lose all your deposits. But it can be worse.

usually if you sign a lease, you are agreeing to live there for the period of the lease....
so if you break it, you are liable for the rent monies until the lease is up.
the only exceptions are if the landlord is able to rerent, in which case he/she MAY let you off...
but usually you are stuck with paying some or all of the remaining time left on the lease.

cheaper to stay in it.

the only way you can break a lease legally is if you are military, and you get transferred more than 50 miles away. the landlord is obligated by law to let you out of your obligation. that's called a military clause.

Yes, but you will "pay out" the lease. You will pay for the months you are not in the place. Sometimes you can get out of that if the unit gets rented fairly quickly, but I wouldn't count on it.

You might be able to. But you may have to pay certain fees and possibly forfeit any money prepaid like security deposit and any rent prepaid.Try talking to your landlord and see if you can work something out. If you could find a friend or someone else to takeover the lease it might be to your advantage.

Read your lease. Usually it states that you must pay until the end of the lease term. Ask your management if they offer a buyout fee. A lot of times a management company will offer a buyout of the lease, if you have to move and you can't help the fact that you must move. For instance at the property i work at, you either pay until the lease is up or we offer a $1,000.00 buyout fee. You give 30 days notice-pay rent through the 30 days then pay the buyout and you are free and clear of your lease. So i would definitely ask what your options are...if any.


aggieD
yes, but u still are responsible for the rent for the remainig term, but u r free to move...


colera667
Read the print on the lease, it should say what is necessary to break it. Usually requires payment of the full years rent and then a little more.
