You will be liable for the remaining months on the lease if and only if the landlord fails to re rent the apt.....that being said, the landlord has a duty to mitigate his losses, so he must actively pursue new renters.....The only way you would not be liable is if you can PROVE he made no attempt to re rent.\n\nBest case scenario for you is if he re rents right away and you are only responsible for the time the apt sat vacant.\n\nOf course, why would you sign a lease prior to viewing an apt?  Seems kind of strange.

Yes, but you do not have to renew it.  You can tell them that they have to be out at the end of the lease period.\nor within 30 days if the lease period is up in less than 30 days.

If you try to skip out on your lease, it will affect your credit rating.\nYou have to read your lease to see if there are any short-term cancellation provisions.\nIf you cannot pay the rent, explain it to the landlord.  He may voluntarily let you out of the lease if he knows you cannot pay.

Sweetie I hate to tell you this but unless it is in writing then there is really nothing you can do. You really have 2 options:\n\nOption 1: Stay there until the end of your lease\n\nOption 2: Break the lease and make payment arrangements (if the landlord allows for that) or have it go on your credit.\n\nGood Luck

Read the small print where it indicates what options or reasons that may arise to allow to opt out of your lease.  Also is the lease legal? There may be parts of it that may not be legal.  Is there rent control in your area? In rent control areas, some Cities require leases to have only a 30 day termination notice.\n\nRemember a leases works both ways, how would you fell if the landlord / manager wanted you out soon after you moved in?

The information you need should be in the lease itself. There should be an early termination section. You will most likely have to pay a fee.\n\nI ended my lease early on my apartment last year and had to pay two months' rent. ($1600--ouch!) The contract said I should have to pay three months' rent, but I was able to persuade the landlord to reduce the payment as I was leaving to work at a summer camp for kids in-crisis. If you have a good reason for breaking lease, write a letter requesting they reduce the penalty. The worst they can do is say no.\n\nGood luck with it!

The notice period to terminate will be prescribed in the lease and is typically at least 30 days on residential and 60-90 days on commercial rael estate. It should be made in writing to the landlord and consent must be received for the agmt to be considered terminated.

Yes it is. You have the option here to sign and return the papers within a reasonable time frame (may or may not be specified in the option) or don't. If you do not, be prepared to move as you will have no legal right to the property one day after your lease expires.

speak to the landlord to see if the lease can be modified

Did you not know you where you were going to live before you got married? anyway, get an apartment today or get an annulment tomorrow.

You should refer back to your lease agreements on all of them and see what the penalty is for early termination.  And to see if you can sublet the space for the remainder of the leases.

This should be addressed in the lease - standard is 30 days before the end of the lease the landlord can put up the for sale sign - the lease is not renewed but on a month to month basis and the tenant is given 30 day notice to vacate at the signing of the sales contract - the sale then cannot close for 30 days - but all things are negotiable and some landlords don't want to let go of a good paying tenant until the last minute in case the deal fails to close - so some will not be fair to the tenant and tell them like a week before closing that they have to vacate - it really all depends on the people - now - this is based on Texas real estate and each state differs so my best advise would be to contact the board of Realtors where you are located and pose the question to them

Talk to your landlord before the rent is too late.  Explain all the circumstances.  He should be understanding.  He would much rather have a filled apartment than a vacant one.  Offer to make a payment as soon as your husband gets paid.  If you've been late before, I doubt if you'll get the late fees waived, but it's worth a shot.  Those late fees do seem excessive to me.  I would check the rules in the state you live in and see if they are actually legal.\n\nGood luck

That sounds mighty high. Then again if you pay your rent later than 15 days and you are on a lease you are technically in breach of the lease agreement.

NO!!! Unless your landlord has gone through the procedures (i.e. the court system) to remove you from your apartment for nonpayment of rent or any other breech of the lease, they CANNOT constructively evict you.  Call the Attorney General's office and ask them for a tenant's rights guide and in the meantime get some bolt cutters and cut the lock.  Of course, if your landlord DID go through eviction proceedings in court, you're out of luck.

It depends on a variety of circumstances, hopefully which are outlined in your lease.  For example, most landlords will give you at least 24 hour warning before showing your apartment or having somebody come to make repairs.  Whether you are home or not is not an issue.  If it is at a reasonable time and advance notice is given, they generally do have the right.

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.
