Best Way to Break a Lease

Published January 9, 2013

So you want to know the best way to break a lease?

Well, the absolute best way to break a lease is to sign a month-to-month lease. That way, at worst, you only owe an extra month of rent.

However, assuming that’s not an option, the best way to break a lease is to find somebody to take over your lease. This can be by sublease or assignment. However, even if you aren’t allowed to sublease, if the person wants your particular unit (and the unit is unique), your landlord will probably be obligated to rent that unit, allowing you to break your lease with minimal loss.
