how to break a commercial lease before the term?

Negotiate with the owner....can you sub-lease it? If that won't work ..........find a way to do something that they will want to kick you out but yet is not mentioned or prohibited in the lease....\n\nPile junk up outside the door, play loud sickening music all day long, get a bunch of strobe lights and flash them all day...something that can't be used to say you broke the lease or did anything wrong......so what, I'm different and like this music with the lights :)\n\n======================

Different ways.  Have someone co-sign your lease.  Offer a higher security deposit.  Offer a higher rent rate.  Say you'll sign a longer lease term.  Arrange a month to month agreement so you can be easily booted if you fail to pay.  Find a nice place with a 'flexible' manager.  My mother paid $35 application fee, which I'm pretty sure went into the bldg. managers pocket!

Send your manager a certified letter more than 30 days prior to your lease expiring.  I've had a few business writing courses so I thought it would be fun to type you up a sample.  I hope this helps!\n\n(Date)\n\nDear (Apartment Manager’s Name):\n\nMy lease on Apartment #__ expires on (date).  According to section ___ in our lease agreement, I am to give you thirty days notice that I will not be renewing my lease.  Please consider this letter to be notice that I will not be renewing my lease.  I have enjoyed my stay here at (name of apartment complex).  I will be completely moved out and will have finished cleaning the apartment by (the last day of your lease).  I will call you a week prior to that time to make an appointment to return my keys, walk through the unit, and receive my security deposit.\n\nIf you have any questions or need to speak with me please call me at (123) 456-7890.\n\nSincerely,\n\n(Name)\nApartment #__

Check for mold in your apt.  If you can certified that you might be able to break lease for health reasons.

PRESUMIMG THE LEASE IS AN APARTMENT;\nIt comes down to the "fine print" in your lease. What did you sign up for? A year? Sometimes you can get out of it just by paying for the advertising until the apartment is rerented, so it's no money out of the landlord's pocket. But remind the landlord, as long as you are paying the rent, even though you don't live there they can't accept rent money from anyone else and the apartment must remain unoccupied. (they can't collect "double rent" for the same apartment)

You'll have to go by whatever you agreed to in your lease.  Your only other option is to try to talk to the landlord to see if they are willing to make any concessions.  Good luck.

Your lease contract should have a section concerning notice periods for rent increases and termination of contract.  The usual period is one to two months but can vary, so check what it says. Increases are up to the landlord but generally take into consideration inflation and any repairs and maintenance carried out on the building by the owner, or any scheduled improvements and you should have all of this in writing, either in the contract or in separate communications.  Usual increases are up to but not more than about 25% every two years or so by reputable landlords.  If you do not have a contract for your present premises ask your landlord for one or look for some where else to live as he will only do the same next year.  Good Luck.

Look at your original lease.  He cannot add terms or conditions to the original document.  That constitues a breach.  DO NOT sign the new one without talking to a lawyer about what your rights are in regards to the original contract.  When someone changes a material portion of the lease, they are offering you a new lease.  He is still responsible for what is under the original before the date of the new one.  \n\nNow I'm telling you this without looking at the lease, and without knowing the laws in your area.  you should definitely have a  lawyer look at it though.  \n\nJust a thought....you might want to consider moving anyway, but at least get rid of the 30-day eveiction notice part.  Please have it checked out though.\n\n  me

What does your lease say?  If you are at the end of your term, then you start renting "month to month" and the landlord can raise the rent, usually with 30 days notice.  You of course have the option of moving out.  If the rent hike is too high, you might try talking with your landlord first.  It's usually easier to deal with steady, paying tenants than trying to re-rent to a new tenant.  Good luck!

The means to break your lease depend entirely on where you are located. I can tell you about the laws in Wisconsin. Basically there is nothing that gets you completely out of your lease but there are 3 ways to end your lease. \n\nThe first is the easiest, work something out with your landlord. If you both agree to end the lease just have something that you both sign saying so. End of problem.\n\nIf they wont work with you then you can sublet (which is messy and should be avoided if you don't know the people) or you break your lease. To break your lease you send your landlord a letter that says when you are leaving and then clean the apartment like you normally would and move out. At that point the landlord would need to return the extra rent you paid and your deposit. The landlord then needs to try to find a new tenant, but until they do you can be held responsible for the rent. \n\nOnce again this only works for Wisconsin. I would suggest googling "rental rights" and your state to find if there are any agencies that are in your area. \n\nOther tips are to call the local building inspector and see what they can help you with.

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.

LOL... sorry but this is really bs.\n\n1. A lease is for a specific period of time, till May 1st.\n2. There are typically(or atleast I've never seen) provisions for automatic renewal(unless month to month) or, and this is laughable, rent that is due after the lease is terminated...\n\nUnless you were on a month to month lease, you would not have to give notice to quit.  There are typically notice periods only for yor wish to renew.\n\nAnother issue that I have with this situation is when did they give you notice of the rent change?  Typically, cause I don't know what state you are in, 30 day notice is required by the landlord to make changes... The door swings both ways here... They CANT raise your rent without providing sufficient notice, either!\n\nFinally, there is an unwritten rule of reason/ability which is what I've come into contact with any time I've had to go to court for a real estate deal.  No court is going to penalize you for giving 22 days notice in a month, even if you were terminating a lease for a set term.\n\nYou have to call the corporate office or talk to this managers supervisor.  Read your lease, then make a stink.

If you are still in the current lease (and it is signed by you and the landlord), it can't be cancelled unless you've broken the terms of the lease. If you pay on time, etc. and the landlord tries to cancel it and raise the rent, take him to court- you'll win.

Try a new bookstore..I have seen some with rental agreements..\nIf you can't do that..type a contract..then go to your bank to have it notarized

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

If you have a one year lease there is no way to get out of it. Most leases do not allow you to sublet. You can ask your manager if they might let you sublet. Then you would have to work out the security deposit with the person that sublets it from you.\n\nIf you break your lease and move out, you will lose your deposit plus pay the rent until it is rerented. They will also charge you for any damages to the apt. or house.\n\nThey will take you to small claims court and from there you get reported to the credit bureaus. It will show up bad on your credit report plus the next place you attempt to rent will see it when they do a credit check on you.

I never heard of that.  When you sell a property and the tenants have a lease, the lease is a legal contract and cannot be terminated until the ending date.  Unless the tenant has not followed all the rules of the lease, like not paying rent or destroying property then the contract is legally binding to anyone who buys that property.  I suggest you read your lease over again.
