Can a landlord enforce a written lease when he and the tenant agreed verbally to end the lease early?

Of course. As a matter of contract law, a lease (which has contract and property law issues) can be "broken" by either party at any time, as long as the breaching party is willing to pay any damages arising from the breach.
For example, the landlord should expect to have to pay something to help the tenant find another suitable place to live, and perhaps part of the moving costs.

∙ 14y agoThe landlord has an obligation to try to mitigate his loss by attempting to rent the apartment. If after diligent effort he cannot do so, he has the right to sue the tenant for each month that he did not get paid, through the end of the lease.

AnswerThe terms are whatever the landlord and tenant agreed upon either verbally or in written contract when the rental or lease agreement took effect. Still, the landlord of either type of housing is responsible for its being liveable (water, electrical hookups) and safe. Regulations may differ by locale.

Can agencies revise resettlement payments after you've already finished paying off on a verbally agreed sum?
Verbally is NEVER a good idea. Hopefully you have written proof. If so, you can alway submit it to the Credit Bureau. At the very least, you can send in a comment stating you paid in full "per your verbal agreement". Then any Creditors can see that info when they pull your report. If you don't have written proof, you may be out of luck. Try to NEVER do anything verbally. Not all of us are "true to our word".
