Re: Lease Breaking
The change in your job will not change your obligation under your lease. I would suggest that you attempt, with your landlord's permission, to sub-let. The amount of damages would change due to the landlord's duty to mitigate damages. Good luck.

Re: Lease Breaking
Hello. Even if the tenant
has to leave out of state
on account of a job reloca-
tion, he or she is still
responsible for payment of
the lease.....its a contract
and when a contract is broken
the offending party can be
sued.
