Re: Tenant vs landlord

Based upon the information provide, you would be responsible for the loss of rental income to the landlord for the balance of the lease term. The dollar amount is dependent on the amount of rent the landlord is receiving from the new tenant.

Responsibility for Rent After Breach and Vacancy

Q. If i broke my lease, am i responsible for the

rent even if the apartment has been rented.

A. Probably for some of the rent. If you signed a

lease for a time certain and left before the time

was up and it was not the landlord's fault you left,

then you are liable for any difference in the

amount the landlord re-rented the unit for and

what your lease specified.
