Apartment Lease
I currently am in a 1yr lease with my
roommate (both names on the
lease), in our Manhattan aparmtent.
I need to leave the state due to
educational relocation. In my lease it
states we can't sublet. Is there any
way to change the terms on my
lease? If I violated the term on the
lease, and my landlord was still being
paid, what would I be facing legally if
caught? Thank You.

Re: Apartment Lease
A lease can legally prohibit subleasing. If you violate the terms you can be evicted.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
