Opt out of a lease in apartment?

Question

I obtained a job in a different state and I still have 4 months on my current apartment lease. It is a respectable rather large complex. Is there a way to opt out? Or am I sorta stuck with it.

Answer 1

Our real estate agency gets that question all the time and all I can tell you is that a contract is a contract and you are obligated to meet the terms of that contract unless the landlord violates those terms or violates any of the terms of your state's landlord tenant act.
I might suggest two things:
1.) contact the landlord and see if they are willing to let you off the lease pursuant to your situation and what it will cost you to be let off.
2.) Sublease to someone else if allowed within your lease agreement. If allowed you might also want to ask the other renters in the complex if they know someone who is willing to take over your lease.

Answer 2

If you have a lease it most likely states that you can be held responsible for 2 months rent if you opt out early.

Answer 3

Read your lease, most of them have an opt out clause.

Usually it is about 2 months rent to get out, but there may not be an option at all.

Answer 4

You're pretty much stuck with it unless the landlord is willing to negotiate. Most will, actually, but figure you'll pay about 2 months worth of rent to break the lease.

Answer 5

Look at your lease. Most places have an option on lease breaking and how much it will cost. It wont be cheap.

Answer 6

You can't simply *choose out*. You might ought to uncover your roommate a brand new roommate and it might ought to feel good about the owner. They might additionally typically ought to be at the hire that means a credit score and heritage determine and so on. Only then, will the owner help you off the hook. If you depart your roommate putting since you can't find the money for the situation to any extent further, the roommate can sue you in small claims.
