Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 If there is any vagueness in the document, and the document was written in favor of the Landlord, then you might be in a position to legally dissolve the lease. Also, remember you might have the option to sublet AND most importantly-- if you should decide to break your lease and say you have 4 months left on the lease, the landlord just cannot hold you hostage for the 4 months rent; he has an obligation to mitigate damages, that is: to search immediately for another tenant to lease the apartment for that duration, even if it is at a somewhat reduced rate for the purpose of enticing someone to rent it.
