Reasons Why People Break Their Lease Agreement and How To Avoid It


Reasons Why People Break Their Lease Agreement and How To Avoid ItThere are a couple of reasons that could force you to think about breaking a lease. In this article, I am going to show you how to avoid breaking your lease.

Below is a list of situations that could compel you to break a lease:

·       When your neighbors have become a source of disturbance to you.
·       When you need to move to a new city as a result of a new job that requires you transfer or any other reason.
·       When you could no longer pay for the rent.
·       When your new job is far away from your apartment and you need to shorten the distance.

Nevertheless, you should always remember that there are always consequences when you break a lease because it is a binding contract between you and your landlord.


·       Losing your security deposits.
·       A continuous payment of the rent until your landlord finds a new tenant.
·       Reduce your chances of getting a new apartment on rent as your landlord may not speak well of you to other landlords.


However, in order to avoid these consequences, there are many alternatives for you as listed below:

·       You can sublet your apartment until your lease expires.
·       You can assign the lease.
·       Where the landlord fails to make the apartment a conducive for living, you can claim a constructive eviction.

Before signing any lease, make sure you study the procedures, limitations or regulations guiding such lease in order to have full understanding of the conditions attached to the agreement.
