Can You Get Out of Your Lease?

Full Video Transcript

Thinking about moving out before your lease is up? Let’s explore your options. Sometimes, breaking a lease is necessary, like if there’s a major safety issue or your landlord isn’t following the rules. But remember, breaking a lease without a good reason might lead to penalties or financial costs. This can include paying rent for the remainder of your lease and not getting your security deposit back. Always check your lease terms. You might be responsible for rent until the end of the lease or only until a new tenant is found. And never simply abandon your unit without communicating with your landlord. They may sue you or use a collections agency. Want to learn more about your rights and options? Visit LawInfo.com for more guidance.
