If you leave before the lease is up, could the owner sue you for leaving after signing the year long lease paper?

Yes, you just have to talk to the rental office to see what you need to do in order to settle the lease, this depends on the policy of the complex and the laws of your state.

Yes the landlord always has recourse against you for breaking the lease early. The only way to break a lease legaly is to work out a payoff with the landlord. This may include you helping to find someone to take over the apartment. You may also break the lease if there are unresolved problems with the apartment that make it unlivable. The landlord has the right to hold any items left behind, report the incident to the credit bureau which will cause you problems in getting another apartment, and he can sue you for the lost revenue and costs to lease the apartment again along with attorney fees.

No, you can't leave before your lease is up! Yes, the landlord will probably sue you; that is why he had you sign the lease, silly!! So you wouldn't stiff him!!
