Depends on the details. How much of the lease was left when the tenant broke the lease? Did you re-rent the apartment? If so, when? Contact me with the details and I will try to help. In the meantime keep track of all the charges. My blog:www.thelandlorddoctor.com email: Bill@thelandlorddoctor.com

For a responsible landlord, he may sue a tenant through a small claims court if the tenant moved out with unpaid rent or if the security deposit is not enough. You can even take action to sue the tenant if he hasn't given you a 30 days notice or by breaking the lease before his term ends.

Which is worse an eviction or broken lease?

An eviction definitely! With a broken lease, you are still paying your landlord the rent that you own him and will probably be paying a fee to break the lease.

If you move before your lease is over do you have to follow the rules of the lease since you never received a copy?

Yes you have to follow the terms of the lease. You are however entiltled to a copy of it, and I owuld ask for it. Some leases will include a clause that gives the renter the option to break the lease early if 30 written notice is given. Some rental companies will also allow a lease to be broken if they are given enough notice to rerent the place before the current residents vacate. I would get a copy of the lease and see how it reads and if any of these options are available to you!


Can you break your lease if you never moved in?

Well, there is nothing to stop you from breaking the lease, however, the renter does not necessarily have to give you back the deposit (if there was a deposit required).
