As a tenant, if the landlord wishes to break their own lease, you have the right to seek damages just as they would if you had broken your lease. The usual outcome for a landlord to break a lease is that the landlord forfeits any right to retain the security deposit.

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.

How many days after signing an apt lease can you break it before moving in?

In general, lease agreements vary by state and landlord, but many allow tenants to break a lease within a few days of signing, often referred to as a "grace period." This period can range from 1 to 3 days, but some landlords may not offer any grace period at all. It's essential to review the specific terms of your lease and check local laws to understand your rights and obligations. Always communicate with your landlord if you need to break the lease promptly.
