He could, if you violate your agreement. Also, there is often a provision that, with a certain amount of notice, that the lease would end sooner or not be renewed. If it is not your fault, the best thing is to try to take the news with grace and hope for some leeway in rent payments so you can afford to move to the next place.

Can a landlord cancel the lease agreement after it has been signed by both parties and the deposit has been paid?

Most lease contracts have a clause that reserves the landlord's right to cancel the agreement if certain conditions are met. If you believe your contract does not support that right, then the landlord may be violating the terms of the agreement. The only way to know for sure is to study the contract, or hire the services of a lawyer to help interpret the contract.


You have a lease now my wife has passed away can you break lease?

Technically, if you are in a lease then you cannot break it or the landlord can keep your security deposit and last month's rent. He can even sue you for loss of revenue up to the time the apartment is rent it out or the lease has expired, whichever comes first. That is the technical rule. But now here's the compassion issue: if your wife has passed away and there is compelling reason to break the lease, I am sure you can work something out with your landlord in which he can cancel the lease for you. But the landlord is usually not obliged to do this.

No. A lease is a legally binding contract, which obligates both the landlord and tenant to a tenancy for the term of the lease. If you and the landlord both signed a lease, and the landlord refuses to give you occupancy of the property, you need to see a landlord-tenant attorney or tenant's rights group immediately!
