If you are required to move, you need to talk to your company's HR department, and ask them to reimburse you for the cost of breaking the lease. If you requested a transfer, you will have to pay this yourself. Either way, you signed the lease and you are responsible for making sure the terms of the contract are settled properly.

A lease is a legal and binding contract. Unfortunately many people don't take that into account when signing one. While you had no control of being transferred, a property owner has a lease for a reason. When you are vacating the property, they have to clean your apartment, paint, clean or replace carpet..etc. to get the place ready for the next tenant. When you sign a lease those fees are already put in place, but not until the end of your lease, so they didn't have in their budget to do beforehand. If you have a private landlord, sometimes they can be more forgiving. But, if you went to a large management company, then you are probably going to pay that fee. Just think of it like a mortgage. If you purchase a home, you cannot tell the bank...Well, my job transferred me..I don't think I should have to pay for my home anymore! I'm not trying to be mean at all, just trying to explain from the property management side of things. Be happy that they aren't making you pay the duration of your lease!! Many properties will make you pay until your apartment has rerented!! It could always be worse.

Unfortunately, yes, you must legally pay the fees. You entered into a binding contract for twelve months when you signed the lease. It's not the apartment owner's fault--he/she didn't break your contract, you did. Doesn't matter if you got a job in a different city, lost your job, decided to move in with your lover, etc., you still broke the agreement.

Who pays for it is between you and your job. Your landlord is entitled to the fee agreed to in your lease. If no fee is agreed to in the lease, the landlord is entitled to the rent for the balance of the lease or until he places a new tenant, whichever comes first.
Your landlord is an innocent third party in your job move. Why should he take it in the shorts because of what you and your employer do?

obviously she expects you to pay lease. You signed a lease settlement, it really is legally binding. That your husband were given transferred is irrelevant to the lease. you'll opt for to pay the rents due till the owner is in a position to employ the living house to some different person.

So you signed a lease, aren't staying around, and now you feel that you shouldn't bother sticking to the lease agreement that you signed? Cute.

unless you work for the big 3 (ford,gm,chrysler) or have another union job your on your own. my family works for ford motor company and when my uncle got transfered they paid for all of his moving expenses, but i work for a distribution center for the big 3 (not union) my plant closed and i got transfered to another it was either take it or leave it. if your not union you have no choice.

You probably need to talk to your boss about that... Your company might be willing to offer you some sort of compensation.
