Once you sign a lease, you are committed to that term. If you really want out, don't pay your rent for the next month and they will serve you with a 3 day pay or quit, meaning, you have 3 days to pay the rent and keep your place or get out. Make a definite decision and stick to it. |

And your question is??????
Once you have signed the new lease-it is a contract that you are held responsible for. |

I'd be surprised if they didn't, you signed a lease. |

You signed a 6 month lease, that means you are bound to the lease, however there are still options.
Most landlords will allow 60 days notice if you want to cancel, sometimes 30 if you're lucky. However your best bet would be to find a replacement of yourself (for your landlord) and make sure you're very nice through the whole ordeal because legally you owe them 6 months worth of rent.
I'm not sure where you live but check with your state or provincial tenant laws and see what can be done, there may be some loopholes that way. |

The lease will have provisions for breaking it, so read what they are. It is tough to get out off a lease unless you can prove the property is not inhabitable. |
|
Uh huh, go on I'm listening
 |
you signed a bounding contract.
sorry.
but if you found a house you want to buy, break the lease. just be careful, you may end paying rent and mortgage for the next 6 months.
they might take you to court for breaking the lease, if so, the judge will most likely only mandate you to pay 3 months worth of rent (thats the common time courts find fair for the landlord find a new tenant) |

Once you sign the lease youe legally bound. However i find it odd that they are telling you no. Could just be that they are strapped financially. Plus I am sure in your current lease (the one that expires 7/31) there is a provision for breaking the lease such as 60 days written notice etc.. so legally you are pretty well bound. Sorry, my best advice would be to try to work it out with them. |

I work at an apartment complex. And in our lease it states that if you want to break the lease early there is a fee. Most complexes follow this rule. Have you asked about early termination fees?
And while we do month to month with an added fee on each month's rent, that is not as widely practiced.
If you really want to move out and have found a place I suggest finding out what it's going to take to break your lease and then, if you're comfortable with it, meet the requirements. |

A lease is a contract that binds the parties to the agreed clauses. If one of the leasers/leasors don't comply with the agreement [lease] then you or they can sue for not complying with the contract. Mqaintenance, upkeep, security, whatever that must be provided or agreed upon should be carried out in accordance with the lease. One of the ways to wiggle out is to 'buyout the remainder of the lease. Can you transfer/sublease the lease to another willing/qualifying person? Check [the contract] and checkout your rights. Consult a lawyer. |

I do believe there is a clause where you can give a two week notice if you are close to the date it is to begin. You might want to check with an attorney and read the fine print on your lease agreement. If there is no such clause, and your state requires it, this could become a problem for the complex. Whatever you do, do consult an attorney. The first call is usually free. Worst case. You move and they fine you the deposit. They can't get the money from you and you are placed on a credit report which you fight because you did not live at the address. |

Sorry. The reason they won't let you out of the lease is that you didn't give them a notice that you would not be renewing it.
The reason they need a notice is so they can find a new lessor. If you would have given a notice, the apartment probably could have been leased to someone else. If they let you out of the lease, they might lose some rent money, while
waiting for another lessor. |

I would think since the new one has not gone into effect you can get out of it. You may have to pay a month but at least you can give them notice now. If they wanted you out they would surely not have to wait six months to send you packing. I would call a legal aid office in your area to make sure. |

that doesnt seem right. it might actually be final just because all the signing and paperwork are complete. there are people that you can talk to that are above these people that work in the complex. talk to them because otherwise, your going to have to pay a fee of at least a few hundred dollars to get off that lease. |

If you haven't moved in yet, most likely you can still break the lease. You will however lose your deposit(depends on the lease). Please read through your lease agreement and see what the cancelation penalties are. If anything, you can always look for a new apartment that will allow you to do a month to month lease, this might be more of a hassel but this will save you more headach in the long run. Keep in mind that NO ONE can make you live somewhere that you don't want to live and most contracts can be broken =) |
