Usually, no notice is needed to end a fixed term lease (like a one-year lease) if you want to end it on the date given in the lease. But some fixed term leases require 30 or 60 days' notice before the ending date. Some leases might even specify move-out times, or days.

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.

You may be able to legally move out before the lease term ends in the following situations. You Are Starting Active Military Duty. ... You or Your Child Are a Victim of Domestic Violence. ... The Rental Unit Is Unsafe or Violates Minnesota Health or Safety Codes. ... Your Landlord Harasses You or Violates Your Privacy Rights.

If the landlord wants to end a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord will need to give the tenant a written notice to vacate. The amount of time on the notice must be either three months or the length of time between when rent is due, whichever is less.

Tenants can use the Minnesota Tenant Notice to Vacate Form to inform landlords and property managers of their intention to vacate the rental property at least 30 days before they intend to move out, or longer if required by the terms of their Minnesota Lease Agreement.

Breaking the Lease 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.
