The renter will be subject to eviction. The exception to this is if the state where the person is renting has laws that allow the renter to withhold payment due to the landlord not keeping the property up to code. Withholding rent payment is a last resort and the state's landlord-tenant laws should be examined before the action is taken. The renter can contact the state or local housing authority for assistance.

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.

Are you liable for the rent of an apartment if you break the lease early in the state of georgia if they have already rented it before your lease was up?

In Georgia, if you break your lease early, you may still be liable for the rent until the end of the lease term, unless the landlord has mitigated their damages by finding a new tenant. If the landlord has already rented the apartment to someone else before your lease was up, you may only be responsible for the rent up until the new tenant's lease begins. It's essential to review your lease agreement and consult with a legal professional for personalized advice.
