Breaking a Lease
The most common questions that we have been asked to address are simply whether a tenant may break the lease. There are quite a few reasons that a residential lease may be terminated early so let's cover the major points. We'll be discussing:
  • The Four Corners of the Contract
  • Constructive Eviction
  • Efficient Breach
While these subsections will generally address most situations, of course each case is unique. This is not just a legal disclaimer, to speak with an attorney if you are considering terminating your lease early, it is our advice that you discuss your case with local counsel who will be in a position to consider the nuances of your case and therefore give you advice, not just general information.
