Tell him to drop the lease or face legal action. I am the owner of a manufacturing corporation that does business worldwide. I have a team of corporate lawyers including contract attorneys. There is no such thing as a legal one sided contract. Either one of you can violate the contract. If he is not living up to his side of the contract, he violated this contract rendering it null and void. You are now free from obligation. Explain this to him and watch the contract vanish.

You are legally bound to that contract.  Talk with your landlord.  They may keep your deposit as well as re-rent fees, etc and rent until they are able to rent it again.  Check your lease on penalties.  If they wanted to be a jerk, they could hold to to the full term of the lease.  Offer to help find a new tenant, pay to advertise it.  Work with them to get it re-rented and they will probably let you out of the contract.\nGood Luck.

If you are in the US then you are a legal tenant and the maintenance work you do is your rent payment.  The landlord must give you reasonable notice before entering your apartment except in the event of an emergency such as a fire or flood.\n\nThe landlord must give you notice before eviction and if you don't move out by the notice date the landlord would have to file a lawsuit for eviction to get you out.\n\nGo to http://realestate.findlaw.com/tenant to read about your rights and then click on the Resources link to get the details for your state.

I presume this is your property and you have hired the property manager to manage it for you.  You should look at the management agreement.  Most have an arbitration clause to prevent expensive lawsuits.  They probably also have a clause that exempts them except for gross negligence on their part.  (Which this might be.)  I suspect you have much stronger rights if you are a tenant of the building than an owner.

Generally, any lease has a section in it that states the owner can make any changes to your lease with notice.  Some require you to sign, others only require that the owner present you with the addendum.\n\nIf you have the first option, and don't sign the addendum, they can evict you with a minimum amount of notice.  For instance, in  LA County, you can be evicted in 3 days unless you live in protected areas (ie, Santa Monica, etc).  The second means they can tow you if you don't go pick up that parking tag, and you'd be responsible for all the fines, etc that go along with them towing you.\n\nRead your current lease very carefully.  And start searching for a new apartment.

In most cases the only way for a seller to get out of a contract is due to non-preformance on behalf of the buyer.  Otherwise, mutual agreement would be needed to cancel the sale.\n\nEthical solutions:\n1) Sell to them unless they don't perform\n2) Tell them you reconsidered, and if they don't want to let you off the hook, offer to buy their cancellation\n\nLess than ethical solution:\n1) Falsify disclosure items (i.e. the sewer pipes drain to the backyard, previous owner was murdered in the bedroom by an assailant that was never caught, roof is leaking, etc)

Contact your local housing authority to find out what options you have.  It varies from state to state and locale to locale, so specific options are hard to give.\n\nIf you haven't done a final close, then you can likely back out or negotiate a discount for repairs.  If you have already performed a final close, you may have to sue for damages, but this depends on jurisdiction.  Some places allow you to enter into a grievance with the inspector which may be resolved by an aribtrator or a judge.

You have the right to leave the apartment, that's about it.  With no lease, if you piss the landlord off, he probably will just send you packing.

In the event a resident is transferred from the area on military orders or their active military status is terminated, the resident may terminate the lease agreement upon giving a 30-day or 60-day written notice to vacate the apartment to the management (which ever is required by your lease). In addition, a copy of military orders or termination of active status will need to be provided to management. If there was a concession given at the time of move-in, it may be required that the amount be repaid prior to moving out. Typically a move to military on-base quarters shall not be considered a military transfer. Your lease agreement should have some sort of military transfer clause.

The best way is to speak to your landlord and explain that you cannot afford the apartment anymore.  Ask if they would allow you out of the balance of the lease.  They may ask you for a payment such as forfeiting your security deposit or a month's rent.  Or, you can offer to try and find another tenant for the apartment.  As for subleasing, read your lease carefully.  Very often subleasing will be prohibited.  But if you speak to the landlord they may allow you to do it.  Just remember that if you sublease you are still responsible for paying the rent if the subtenant fails to pay.

Proper Notice to Leave\nWhen a tenant wants to move out of a rental unit, it is important that the proper kind of notice be given to the landlord. The following discusses how to end the two most common types of rental agreements. However, it is important that tenants check their own rental agreements to determine what kind of notice must be given before they move out.\n\nLeases. If the tenant moves out at the expiration of a lease, in most cases it is not necessary to give the landlord a written notice. However, the lease should be consulted to be sure a formal notice is not required.\n\nIf a tenant stays beyond the expiration of the lease, and the landlord accepts the next month's rent, the tenant then is assumed to be renting under a month-to-month agreement.\n\nA tenant who leaves before a lease expires is responsible for paying the rent for the rest of the lease. However, the landlord must make an effort to re-rent the unit at a reasonable price. If this is not done, the tenant may not be liable for rent beyond a reasonable period of time.\n\nMonth-to-Month Rental Agreements. When a tenant wants to end a month-to-month rental agreement, written notice must be given to the landlord. The notice must be received at least 20 days before the end of the rental period (the day before rent is due). The day on which the notice is delivered does not count. A landlord cannot require a tenant to give more than 20 days notice when moving out.\n\nWhat if a tenant moves out without giving proper notice? The law says the tenant is liable for rent for the lesser of: 30 days from the day the next rent is due, or 30 days from the day the landlord learns the tenant has moved out. However, the landlord has a duty to try and find a new renter. If the dwelling is rented before the end of the 30 days, the former tenant must pay only until the new tenant begins paying rent.\n\nWhen a landlord wants a month-to-month renter to move out, a 20-day notice is required.

I don't believe you can.  Either way you are liable for the rent till the end of the contract or get someone to sublet your place, if it is allowed.\nYour company might be willing to pay for this if they are the ones asking you to move.  Most do.\nRead what your rental contract says.  It should all be there.

Your landlord has the right to search the property with reasonable notice.  It is his property, you are just "borrowing it".  That being said, since you are paying to occupy that place you have rights as well.  He can't come unannounced and search your property, the things inside your apartment are yours.  As for the eviction, he can't evict you for pets if there is no pet clause in the rental agreement.  All changes to a rental agreement need to be in writing and signed by the tenant showing that they are aware of the new changes and agree to adhere to them.  If it's not in there it can't be pursued.  Hope this helps.
