Re: Breaking lease due to loss of job in NJ
It depends on the terms of the lease. I would doubt that there is a clause in the lease that would allow one to break the lease in case of loss of job. Absent that, he would be contractually obligated under the terms of the lease.
Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other facts that would change my opinion. And, no one can rely on the opinion of an attorney who has not been retained. Before you do anything, you should consult with an attorney who practices Landlord/Tenant law. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
