Answer 1

You'll have to ask your landlord on both counts. He or she can give you a copy of your lease. And they can tell you what the penalty will be for breaking the lease.

Your lease may already address the issue of breaking the lease. If it does, then that's what you will be liable for.

If your lease is silent on the issue, legally you are liable for the remainder of the lease term or until the landlord places a new tenant, whichever comes first. The landlord is obligated only to make a reasonable effort to re-let the unit to minimize your liability. Generally the courts have held that 2 months is sufficient time to place a new tenant so that MIGHT limit your liability somewhat. Of course, local conditions could influence that time period either way.

Your best bet would be to contact your landlord and see if you can negotiate an equitable penalty for breaking the lease. Most landlords will work with you on this if you've been a reasonably decent tenant. When I was a landlord I would usually let good tenants off the hook in exchange for one month's rent if they agreed to leave the unit spotless and move-in ready. Virtually everyone took me up on that and left the place spotless -- usually cleaner than I would have left it myself.

If you upload him to the rent he's going to be anticipated to go a credit score assess as good and pay a section of the hire consistent with the leasing organization. This could be your excellent safeguard. If you enable him to transport in with you at no cost and no longer be further to the rent, it's viable so that you can be evicted and have got to pay the remainder steadiness of your rent interval. Most rent contracts have a piece that offers with folks residing with you for greater than a discuss with and the penalties if that is observed to be actual with none notification to the leasing organization. Read your rent for extra knowledge. It could be very viable to be concerned with an association like this. Be cautious. You might do extra harm on your possess credit score list than you'll be able to assume.

Answer 3

The terms for breaking the lease, should be in your lease contract. If it is a bare-bones contract and doesn't address this issue, you may or may not be allowed to sub-lease the apartment, or will be liable for any and all rental charges that the landlord incurs between the time you move out and he or she finds another tenant.

Your deposit is not part of the rent...it's for damages only.

Answer 4

I worked for one of the top brokers in the big city I worked in when I was in the "business" he told me once that contracts were made to be broken and, leases are easy to get out of.

I don't know why your doing this, another better deal, moving, what the reason is. I don't want to tell you anything illegal but, you can read between the lines.
My agent would tell you, after all the years I worked with him I can speak for him, come and see me, tell me your problems, maybe we can get together and do this without any problems.

I'm sure there's a way, just see your agent. Go and see him, don't call him. I and others in this type of business need eye to eye contact.
