Can you get an apt lease for a new place if you still have another apt lease that isn't up yet?

Answer 1

Sure, as long as you can pay for both of them.

Answer 2

Yes you can.. Your new apt place won't care what you are doing now as long as you sign a lease with them and promise to pay them for the duration of that lease. Afterall, they are getting a new tenant and revenue from you moving in.. However, I would NOT do it because if you have not fulfilled your obligation with your existing apt then they will come after you and take you to collections and chase you all over the place and make your new life at your new apt just miserable... May sure you successfully close your present door the correct way before you enter another one..Protect yourselft in that regard

Answer 3

As a landlord there are a couple of things that you could do to get out of you lease at your current apartment and get into a new lease at another apartment. First, ask! Sometimes there are people on a waiting list that are willing to pay more rent per month than you are paying. Second, most of the time landlords will let you buy out your lease, this can be negotiated with your landlord. Third, Read your lease agreement to if there is anything you can do.

Answer 4

You would be expected to pay for both until the first runs out. You can enter into a new lease that doesn't start until the first one ends, that shouldn't be a problem. Remember that a lease is a contract, just like a car loan or a credit card.

Answer 5

Sure, no reason why not. Many folks will sign a lease on a new place before their old lease is up since you need time to move anyway.

Answer 6

Yes. Some apt complexes may question it. You can always say that you are the co-signer. As long as your rental history and credit checks out, I really do not think that they care.

Answer 7

The problem is you may be assessed what is called "liquidated damages" which is your part of the rent until your apartment is rented again. This can get expensive, so look before you leap!
