Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Arizona

Lease Termination

I have a lease for my apartment which has a termination date of February 28th. 2007

The early termination clause of the lease reads as follows:

EARLY TERMINATION: Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable state law, and management mutually agrees, the Resident may terminate this agreement before the expiration of the original term by:

A) Giving management at least thirty day written notice from the 1st of the month, plus �

B) Paying all monies due through the termination due of the 30 day notice given, plus �

C) Paying a lease termination fee of $ N/A, such amount being paid by resident as additional consideration to management in return for the relinquishment and release by management of any claim it might have against resident for the balance of the rent due under the lease. This fee is also due to landlord/management should a tenant �skip�, or not give a formal 30-day notice.

D) In addition, all resident security shall become the unconditional property of management, if not prohibited under law, not as penalty but as damages.

In your opinion, may I vacate in Dec. 2006 without having to pay the rent to the end of the lease?
