Do you have to pay a penalty if you break your lease to move out of state?

This depends on the terms of your lease. Normally breaking a lease for any reason is grounds for the landlord to keep your deposit. If there are valid grounds for breaking the lease and the landlord keeps your deposit you can sue him for the amount he kept.

∙ 18y agoYes you can, but unfortunately, depending on the landlord (they shouldn't have a problem re-renting) you could lose your money. Talk to your landlord and explain the circumstances. These days it doesn't take long to re-rent a home or apartment so I don't think you have anything to worry about and if you have a decent landlord you should be able to get your money back. Good luck Marcy

Can you get out of your lease if you get out of the military?
Each state is different and have their own rental/real estate laws, when signing the lease make sure that their is not a military clause which states that you can not break a lease with proof of orders. Most rental agents or companies will allow you to terminate you lease with orders to move to leaving the military. Make sure you put in a written 30 day notice and again depending on the state and your lease you may have to pay a penalty for breaking the lease.

Can you break a lease in Utah if you are moving out of state for work?
You can break a lease to move for work--but the landlord has the rights noted in the lease. Providing 30 days notice and talking to him about the reasons for your move may reduce the money they expect for you to pay to get out of the lease. If you have a letter of employment from the new job may help. A job in the military is usually the only work-related reason for getting out of a lease early.

If a commercial landlord excepts your check do you have a lease?
It depends on the lease and the state. Some areas allow either party to break a lease within a certain timeframe without any ramifications. As long as a landlord returned all payments then I would move on, if this is the first example on how the landlord operates then I believe you should walk-away.
If I voluntarily break my lease but someone else wants to move in am I required to pay a fee or the remaining time on the lease agreement.?
It is going to depend on the management company. However, they will have to put in the same amount of time cleaning and making the apartment ready for the next person. So, you will pay at least a penalty for leaving early. Again, whether they are going to require payment for the remaining months depends on your lease and on their willingness to work with you.
