Most landlords decide to let the tenant break the lease in exchange for a penalty fee, which is often equal to one or two months of rent. Once the tenant signs the lease, they will automatically agree to pay those penalty fees if they ever try to move out without a valid reason.

Tenants who break a lease by moving out early, or prior to giving appropriate notification, are generally responsible for paying the rest of the money owed on the lease and may also be penalized by ?break lease? fees or other charges defined in the lease.

The time of the notice must be at least as long as the interval between the time rent is due or three months, whichever is less. (b) If a tenant neglects or refuses to pay rent due on a tenancy at will, the landlord may terminate the tenancy by giving the tenant 14 days notice to quit in writing.
