The best way get out of the lease is by telling your landlord about your family situation. Emergencies do happen and landlords need to understand. In your case, notify your landlord sooner than later, put in writing, make sure to clean your apt., take pics., have a walk through with the landlord and perhaps another witness with you present. Make sure that you sign your walk through and get a copy. Some landlords may more human than other, and may just refund your deposit days after the walk through. Ask for God' grace and perhaps you may get your deposit the same day of your walk through - make copies of everything!! Cash your check right away!! Best advice that I can give you - I'm a landlord too. |

a lease is a lease, they can hold you to whatever you signed regaurdless of the reasoning for breaking it... you could try to work out a subletting deal with your landlord & help find other tenants to move in to take you place. If it's a family emergency situation i think it depends on the kind of person your is as to how easy they'll go on you. goodd luck. |

The reason doesn't matter. It is standard to be charged a nominal fee to have your place sub-leased. It cost me 50 dollars the last time and that absolved me of any responsibility for the lease and yes I did get my security deposit back too. So just tell the land lord you have to move out and you want to sub-lease. It's well worth it. |

Just tell the truth. Ask the lessor if he will allow you to find another tenant-offer to pay for advertising. You have 8 weeks to work with him- try to negotiate. Tell him you have to move 2000 miles away. maybe he will work with you. Good luck. |

No excuse gives you a legal right to break the lease, so you are depending on the landlords good nature.
Your real reason is pretty good. Also, the longer notice you give the less hardship you put on the landlord and the more likely they are to be easy going about the situation. |

tell ur landlord ur mother is sick and she is terminally ill and u are flying out there to take care of her. The docotr gave her less than 3 months to live. They will sympathize and most likely let u out of the lease without a penalty. tha is the only tmie our building has ever let anyone out without a penalty. |

first - read your lease to see if there is an "Out" clause. almost all leases have them...you pay a penalty to get out of the lease with a 30 day notice. The penalty can be a flat figure or it can be the payment of the remainder of the months left on your lease. ---remember, the reason a landlord signs a lease is perceived 'guaranteed income' for that year or two.
Second - don't lie...just tell the landlord the truth. A unexpected family situation has come up...he does not need to know the specifics (nor does he want to know).
If you lie, you will eventually get caught in it (especially when you want to rent or lease again in the future)....do you believe in Karma.(i do)
Third - leave your place spotless and take pics of everything, you might even do a walk through with your landlord before you leave....these will ensure the return of your deposit.
and lastly---next time, try not to sign a lease...just do a rental agreement (month-to-month)
Good Luck and happy moving :) |

Tell your landlord just that............family emergency. Fudge the story a bit........your mom/dad/sister/brother is very ill and they need you to take care of them. |

Most leases do have an "out clause". Getting a job far away is a common one. Always tell the truth. Besides the landlord has very little power. It is very difficult , expensive and time consuming for the landlord to force you to pay the rest of the contract. Tell the landlord your case and give him/her 2 months to find a new tenant. The most that he/she could do is not refund your down-payment. (If you are concerned about that, you can deduct the down-payment from your last bill. Not exactly a nice thing to do but I wish I did that with my last not-so-nice landlord who decided to cheat me of my down-payment by making up false excuses for keeping the money. But that was 15 years ago). |

This is a tough situation, but legally the landlord doesn't have to let you out of the year-long commitment. A lease is legally binding except under certain very specific circumstances (being called to active duty, for instance) and the landlord is within his rights to seek all twelve months of rent.
But most landlords are humans with hearts and everything. Tell him the truth, that you have the need to be with your family, and that you want to know what you can do to terminate the lease. He may say you can't, in which case you'll need to ask him about subletting to a new tenant.
Or he may say that if you'll keep the place spotless and allow him to show it to prospective tenants, and one of them wants the place, you're off the hook.
Whatever you do, don't just move away and stop paying. Even if you're not there, you'll still owe the money. |

always tell the truth.
the landlord has heard everything but the truth...just be honest. you might have to pay extra but they will probably let you out of it if the place has been cleaned very well. |

I know if military get orders far away they can use that legally to get out of a lease. Other than that I can't think of anything else accept to break it. Sorry. |
