Technically, yes. A landlord cannot force anyone to stay at an apartment that they do not or cannot live in. However, most landlords will do things such as keep your son's security deposit. Or in a bad scenario, they might expect your son to still pay them the rent payments that they would have otherwise received up through August. Normally they will only demand the leftover rent payments if they are unable to find another tenant to fulfill your son's apartment. In that case, a landlord might even sue your son in civil claims court for the rent payments from April(now) until August, and if your son cannot pay, then a public judgment will be rendered against him. This judgment will ruin his credit and if he doesn't pay back the rent in the meantime, could result in garnished wages(which I guess doesn't matter, since your son is out of a job, therefore has no wages to get garnished). But be careful...it can happen!
It all depends on how nice the landlord is. If it's a small private owned apartment(for example, a house converted to 2 or 3 small apartment units), then the landlord will probably be more sympathetic and let him go with a month's notice. But if it is a large corporate-run apartment building(such as one of the Kormann Suites apartments, which are managed by a corporation that runs many apartment complexes throughout parts of the country), they will probably give him a bit of hell for it.
I'd suggest that your son discusses this with the landlords in a mature and professional matter ASAP. The sooner that he notifies them of his plight, the better, so it doesn't look like he's procrastinating. Also, some landlords(for corporate-run apartment complexes) DO allow you to get out of a lease if you give them 2 months' notice so that they have the ample time to search for a new tenant to fill that apartment. Since this job thing is obviously not his fault, they might be understanding. Even if it gets to the point where they sue him in court, he can always use the job layoff as a defense and perhaps the judge will arrange a long-term payment plan between him and the landlords so to avoid having a judgment rendered against him. |

no, but he could sub-lease it (rent to someone else until the lease is up). |
|
Just here.
|
Just need to talk to the landlord. WHy cant he get a new job and continue the lease? |
|
the need to know
 |
No but there is a loophole.....Look at the lease...it may have something in there about moving because of your job......If so. all he has to do is get a job in another city, then he can get out of it. |

The fact that he lost his job has nothing to do with the lease he signed. The landlord does not care if he's working or not. Your best bet would be to see if he can sub-let it out. Then that would solve his issues. |

no, but has he tried applying for unemployment benefits? |

Not unless it is in the lease. He should check because most leases do have a cancellation policy.
On every lease I've ever had, I've always added that if I should become unemployed through no fault of my own, that I can give 30 days notice and then be out of the lease. Get the manager to sign off on it as well.
Oh, and I also include a statement that if the apartment should become unliveable that I owe no rent for that period. Unliveable included utilities being shut off due to non-payment by the building owners or management company or a breakdown of utilities for more than 4 days. I saw too many people burned on leases for apartments they couldn't live in. |

No, unfortunately. Sorry to hear the bad news though! |

he has to ask hi landlord---if the landlord okays it then usually he will just keep the security deposit and all is good
however, if he says no then nothing can be done as a lease is a binding/legal contract |

only way out, is if both parties agree to end the contract. |

Depends on the term of his lease. I doubt it. but you may find a loop hole |

State laws decide.
In Ohio (where I live) you can not break a lease for a job relocation or change. You sign a lease for 12 months, you're there for 12 months. Though some apartments will work out different things. I relocated for a job change and the office agreed to find a new renter to take over my lease. I was still responsible for rent until a new tenant was found (I ended up paying two rents for 3 months). Understand, though, that this was an agreement I made with the landlord. He was in no way under any legal obligation to do this.
In Delaware, where I also broke a lease, you can break a lease for job *change* (if the new job is more than 50 miles added to your drive than the old job *and* with the same employer) but not for job *loss*. If you go seeking a new job with a new company and think that's going to break a lease, it doesn't. Losing a job doesn't drop any non-work-related contracts.
Your contract between you and your landlord is a legal binding, personal agreement. It has nothing to do with your job. That's what it boils down to. However, a landlord really doesn't want to keep tenants who will be unable to pay. Why not just get another job?
Check your state laws, it's really state dependent.
Sub-letting (leasing to someone else) is a violation of the law in Ohio. Changing jobs only breaks a lease if it's relocation with the same company in Delaware. All of these laws are state-specific. |

One doesn't have anything to do with the other unless your son was working for the landlord, he signed a contract for a year, it's his responsibility to either pay the lease or find some one who will. He can talk to the landlord and try to work something else out but he is ultimately responsible for it. |
