I have to get out of my lease early...?

Question

because I have to relocate for law enforcement training. I am trying to find a subleaser but is there any duty that falls on the landlord to help me out in finding someone to sublease?

Answer 1

Simple answer from one former cop to one going into training: No.

A lease can't be broken at will by either party. Otherwise the landlord could break it if he or she wanted.

So your best bet is to talk to the landlord. Explain your situation, that you are trying to find a sub lessor, see if you can work some kind of buy out. Maybe your landlord could start looking too if you were to request it.

Best of luck!

Answer 2

Your landlord, buy law, has the responsibility to "mitigage" his damages by your breaking of the lease. Technically, once you give notice to leave, he alone is reguired to try to re-rent. He will probably want some sort of fee for breaking the lease as well as advertising fees. You will also be responsible for rent until a new tenant has been found. Read your lease carefully to see what it says regarding early lease termination.

Good Luck.

Answer 3

No some land lards well let you out depending on how long you have left on your lease, read your lease see if there is any things that says you can terminate the lease before it expires. Become late with your payments for the next few months, maybe then they will be willing to let you go. Good luck.

Answer 4

Read your lease and see what it says. We always make sure we have a military clause so we that we just have to give 60 day notice and a copy of orders to break a lease. There might be something similar for civil service.

Answer 5

Nope.

They may be able and willing to help, though. They already have someone responsible for the apt. (YOU). They will get their money no matter what. It's solely up to you to find a subleaser.

Answer 6

Nope none at all. They can do it if they feel generous. Usually they will charge a fee equivelant to 2 or 3 months rent to let you out early.
