Unfortunate for you. I just bought a house and my lease was not up yet, however my landlord let me out of mine. The only thing I can say is to break it and know that he may take you to court for his money. If he does then you can just set up a payment plan for your arrearage and pay it back in monthly installments.

First of all, what does your lease say about sub-leasing? If it doesn't prohibit it or expressly allows it, you may be able to find someone to take over the lease by advertising it in your local paper. Otherwise, ask your landlord if you can find a new tenant. His damages, even if you did terminate the lease early, would likely be limited to the time that it took him to find a new lessee (and he would have to show a good faith effort to do so). You could also consult a real estate attorney to look at the lease, but I would avoid retaining one until you make every effort you can to work this out with your landlord on your own. Good luck!

Try and negotiate with your landlord. See if you can come to some kind of agreement that you will pay the rent until a new tenant is found. You can also sublet with your landlords approval. In other words, you can advertise for someone responsible for finishing out your lease. The law really is on the side of your landlord on this issue. You have a binding agreement but most landlord's are receptive to a sublet agreement.

I had a similar situation. My work transferred me to another city five months before my lease was up. My landlord would try to rent the apartment to another person but until that time I would have to make rent payments. Fortunately, the apartment was rented within two months. They were not under any obligation to do this and could have held me to the contract but they were very cool about it. Maybe if talk to your landlord, you can reach a similar agreement...

There is a way to get out, What state are you in every state have different laws. You should be able to show him the paper stating you brought the house and that all u need. If that doesn't work call am lawery for free consulation and ask him the question.

Nothing. If they have a legal binding lease with you, then you have to pay for the rest of the lease, or sub-let it.
If you knew you were looking for a house, why did you sign on for another year?

I am about to buy a house and have a lease til Feb 06. I talked to the slumlord and he said it was fine I would just lose my deposit. You should just try to work it out with you landlord.

If you die you probably would not have to continue the lease.

make up a phony letter from the ARMY saying you have orders to go to IRAQ and you will be one for 12 months and submit it to them.
