Is there any was to get out of a lease without out being sued?

Answer 1

.........My husband and I relocated to another state for a few years, so were renting a property, a better position came up for my Husband back in our home state and we had to break our lease by 6 months. We had to pay the 6 months worth of rent event though we no longer lived there, we were building at the same time so this really hurt our finances for a while. If we refused to pay we would have been sued on top of that we also had to pay the advertising costs to advertise the property. So if you are thinking about breaking a lease agreement before it's due date best to call your real estate and others to know exactly were you will stand.

Answer 2

Yes. Usually there is a "buyout" option. Or a "lease termination" agreement.
Is this for a car or an apartment?
If it's for an apartment, call your landlord or management company. There are usually 3 options.
1) You can, do the lease termination agreement.
Our is as follows, if you break your lease you our STILL responsible for putting in a written 2 month notice, and then you are responsible for the "equivilent" of 2 months of rent on top of that. That is to leave, w/ no recourse and getting your deposit and whatever other fees you may have already paid back.
2) Skip--this is where you just pack up turn in your keys give no notice and that's it.--then you are ONLY responsible for 2 months of rent, and will still probably NOT get a negative mark on your rental history.
3) Not pay your rent. and get evicted. You still won' t get sued, but you may have an EXTREMELY tough time trying to rent anywhere else in the near future, until you have settled w/ and paid your current or previous landlord.
That's all i know. I am in the business, but I guess I don't know what type of lease your trying to get out of, so good luck.

Answer 3

Commercial or residential. A commercial lease is almost impossible to get out of in most cases. In an apartment if you usually find a bunch wrong with your unit and threaten to call the housing authority to the complex manager they will usually let you out no questions asked and without paying penalties. If you live in a gated community and have pictures of the gate broke. They usually have to let you out as well for not providing the service promised in your lease.

Answer 4

You didn't say, but have you asked your landlord if you can end your lease early? You can try to negotiate a deal. If they sue you that costs time and money and then they have to try to collect, so maybe you can work out a deal.
Offer to pay pay off part of your lease, paint the apartment, have the carpet steam cleaned, etc.

Answer 5

Usually not without having to go to court anyways. My mom wrote a letter to a leasing company that had my brother in a lease to get him out of it early because there were things in the complex like robberies and cars getting broken into and his car got sugar put in the gas tank and things like that so she wrote them a mean letter saying the apartments were unsafe and security there was a joke and if they didnt let my brother out of his lease theyd sue them, and they ended up letting him out, but I'm sure that was a rare case. I also once had a roomate who was let out of her lease because she found someone to move in in her place...Have you thought about subleasing?

Answer 6

Well it depends on the circumstances. If you have an eviction notice due to non payment, then no. Unless you work something out with the landlord because it costs money for them to take you to court.

The other way is that they evict your for breaking the rules like if you get notices for loud music and noise, then they will make you move, but you won't get sued. But either way, it will hurt you when you're trying to get another place.

Answer 7

First tell landlord you would like out of lease.
See what the reaction is.
Sometimes you might be surprised.
I have seem the time I would pay a ten tent to leave...lol

Answer 8

If your landlord in ANY way violated any terms in the lease!

Answer 9

if the other party (e.g. the landlord) has breached his duties in the contract in some way, it may be possible. but then again it might not, depending on the nature of the breach, etc. check with an attorney.

Answer 10

Try to find a subleaser?
