Not true. The contract between you and your landlord is not subject to cancellation or termination merely because you have purchased a house.
Re: Breaking a lease?
The information that you were "told" is incorrect. Purchasing a home is not a legally sufficient reason to get out of your lease agreement.
Re: Breaking a lease?
Someone has misinformed you. You may not break a lease just because you are purchasing a home. However, you may negotiate terms to break the lease with the landlord. Make sure you get it in writing.
