In Urgent need to Break a Apartment lease..pls help?


We got a nice deal for a house, and have to break our apt lease for sure. We just signed a contract for 9months, what is the easiest way out and with no loss to us.
Pls suggest ur BEST ideas.

Should we be honest with the leasing office people OR tell them a story ..what would help?? We have been staying at their property since 2 years.

Be honest with them, they will be more likely to work with you. Unfortunately, most apartment complexes have costly break-lease clauses, and are not likely to let you off the hook. Depending on their policies, you may be able to find someone to sublease (take over your lease). Check with them first, because some places do not allow it. And if that doesn't work, see if you can get your seller to pay the break-lease fee in the closing costs or something. In my area, especially with new construction, the builder will pay the break-lease fee in order to sell a home. It's worth a shot!

Ok...that isn't a valid reason to break a lease OR an emergency.

You went shopping for a home when you knew you were under a lease...that is YOUR choice.

You need to ask them what you need to do to break the lease, and expect to pay all charges associated with it.

Don't expect the landlord to foot the bill because you want to move...landlord's have bills too.

If you can find them a replacement tenant that is acceptable to them, they should not have a problem allowing you out of your lease.

All your landlord really cares about is the rental income, they don't really care if it comes from you or from someone else.

It doesn't matter what you tell them they will have to enforce the policies set forth by their corporate office. Unfortunately for you you will be responsible for the termination fee unless the lease states otherwise. I would read the lease and ask the office if you have any questions.
