Can we break a rental contract for the reason of job relocation?

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.

There will be specific provision in your rental agreement covering this. \n\nBasically under a contract you can only vary it with either the agreement of both parties or specific provision in the Agreement.  \n\nCheck for wording like "break clause"; "termination" and the like.  There is likely to be a payment equal to a few months if you break early.\n\nGood luck.

First some ethical questions on my part.\n\nAre they YOUR clients? Or are they your former employer's clients?\n\nDid you sign any non-compete statements with your former employer that prohibits you from using proprietary information that belongs to that employer?\n\nIf you did, then you must not use that information (names and addresses) to contact your current client base about the move.  You could be sued or even charged with theft and end up in court.\n\nIf what you are asking is ethical and within industry standards, then consult with your new employer.  They will have a standard format for you to use to contact your current clients.  Use that.

Make sure you can get out of your lease first then present those facts to your current landlord. If they dont give you a break, move.

a.  No one can stop you from moving, and the sooner you do the better.  If you stay longer than you must, you will have a continuing dispute over future months.  What's at risk now is your security deposit, which you will have to fight for.\nb.  It's confusing how you state someone else is authorizing your payment.\nc.  I am assumig the orginal term for your lease is up, and the part of the agreement you cite is the relevant part.  That you did not provide 30 days written notice makes you in the wrong here, and is what puts your security deposit at risk...assuming there is one...for the March rent.

Every state has different laws, but I have never heard of one that allows you to get out of the lease because you move out of the area.  You can check on your state's web site for regulations regarding rentals though!\n\nYou may be better off paying the one month left on the lease and getting your deposit back than losing 2 months and the deposit.  There isn't much you can do about it  :(\n\n:(  sorry!\n\nGood luck with the new job!

That's a breech of contract if they are not abiding by what they have in the contract. Turn the landlord in, you may have to go as far as taking them to court. \n\nBELIEVE ME, YOU CAN BET IF YOU BROKE A CONTRACT THEY WOULD BE ALL OVER YOU LIKE FLIES ON CRAP! \n\nGood luck to you.

Probably not. Some companies will offer a signing bonus, however the relocation assistance is to attract qualified employees from outside the local area. It's probably also a tax write off for the business. Paying you a signing bonus doesn't achieve that and if they give it to you, they'd have to give it to everyone they hired.\n\n You can always ask about it, but if you really want the job, don't push the issue.

You have to follow the terms agreed to in your rental agreement.  Sorry there is not a better answer.

Yes, If you chose to move out legally you would be able to unless there is a clause in your contract or mortgage that states that you must reside in the property for a certain amount of time

Get a lawyer's advice. Better to break the lease than lose everything.

you have to check your rental agreement. if there is nothing in there saying you need to give a whole months notice then no he cannot keep it.

Does your lease mention anything about what happens if you want to move out early? In all likelihood, your best bet is to simply go to the landlord and tell them what your situation is. If you have been a good tenant, and if the rental market in the area is thriving, they may not have a problem letting you break the lease. While the first question may appear to be "what will the law let me do?" the better first question is actually "do you mind if I move out?" Remember, if you have a lease, the landlord probably cannot raise the rent, but if you move out, he can raise it for the next tenant.

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.

If you moved because of a change in your job location or because you started a new job, you may be able to deduct your moving expenses if your move is closely related to the start of work.  Generally, speaking if you just moved closer to the place you already work...then no, you cannot deduct the moving expenses.  Usually, the move also must be at least a 50 mile move.

You do not have to take the job if you do not want to live there.  And you did not mention  if it says anything about a particular cohabitating partner. If it made a specific reference you would have to seek advice on another legal question. but if it is just co- habitation for anyone reguardless of race, religion, sex, etc, then it would be my opinion they have the right to say who  will live in the place and decide who they will hire
