Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Arkansas

LeaseTermination

What are the laws regarding tenants terminating their lease early? A landlord verbally agreed to terminate the lease early when they property could be rerented and is now asking for rent after telling the tenant to remove their things and return the key in order for it to be shown and says that they need the rent to get the place ready to be shown/rented although they have the deposit as well and no damage was done other than simply repainting.

Re: LeaseTermination

What kind of lease did you have? I would need to see the lease or at least ask you some more questions about it. If there was an agreement by both of you to terminate the lease, you would not owe anything unless there was some other understanding. However, the termination agreement may need to be in writing, depend on your lease agreement.
