Does Arizona Law allow a tenant to be released from a lease if they have been relocated because of a job?

Answer 1

ask your landlord

Answer 2

No the AZ Landlord Tenant Act states that you can only break a lease if you are transferred through the military. You must provide documentation to prove it. Most landlords can be negotiated with, though. I used to be a Property Manager for 5 years and we would allow people to do a "buy out". That means they would pay us a certain amount to be released from the lease.

If you live at a national property management company chain, ie Equity Residential, you usually can transfer to another Equity property in the area you are moving to.

I would go and speak to the manager. Make a deal.

Hope it helps!

Answer 3

I don't know about the law but almost always there is a buy out on a lease. For example when you sign it they might say to get out at that point you have to pay six months worth of the lease. It goes down the longer you keep your lease. I would talk with the Leasor and ask them how they feel about it. They might let you out scott free or they might say three months worth rent then as your job that is relocating you to pay that.

Answer 4

I'm not sure about Arizona law, but leases are basically contracts.

Usually, unless a contract is broken, both parties (unless it's also have been specified that neither of them can get out if or something) pretty much have to agree on the terms.

You agreed on the terms coming in, you'll also have to agree on coming out before it's over.

At least.. that's what I think is the case.
