I broke Lease!
By Tenant
I signed a 12 month lease on June 1, 2009. I gave notice and am moving out Nov 12th. I did pay $1500 Security (one months lease) at the inception and I did pay the whole month of November. My issue is that my Landlord is now putting up the house for sale and not advertising or entertaining a lease. What would my rights be as a tenant? If I am liable for the term of the lease doesn’t this seem wrong that they will not actively persue a tenant?
At this rate: I paid Nov. in full
They will not consider a lease until Dec 15th or Jan.
Do I still owe for December???
Please let me know as I did recently file bankruptcy and was discharged Oct 2nd of this year….. My husband is unemployed and I am too…. Is there a way out of this? I did ask for a termination agreeement with options and was told I owe the total lease thru May of 2010.
Kind regards,

Although, I’m not in your specific state, it is usually required for a landlord to put some effort into finding a new tenant. Now, that doesn’t mean that the landlord is required to spend a lot of money advertising the unit, however, they should put some effort into it. |
