Set Out Break Lease For Free

If tenants have not paid rent, you will want to serve them with a five-day notice as soon as possible. This informs them that they have five days to pay their rent. Failure to pay the rent within the five days will allow the landlord to terminate the lease and start the eviction process.

In the event that a tenant would want to break a lease before the expiration of the lease term, there may be an early-termination penalty. These provisions are generally also considered contractual matters between the landlord and the tenant, and the lease will usually contain the penalties for early-termination.

No matter the reason, generally, a tenant who breaks a lease early is responsible for paying the entire rent for the rental unit remaining under the lease and giving the landlord written notice, regardless of whether they continue living in the premises.

Depending on the terms of your lease, you may need to pay an early termination fee to end your lease early. Typically, this fee is equivalent to 2 months' rent. In some cases, the property owner may agree to use your security deposit to cover these fees, although they're not required to do so.
