Re: Senior citizens rights to early termination of rental lease

The first source of your rights under the lease is the lease agreement itself. Review it to determine what would be owed to the landlord when a lease is terminated early. You should also send the landlord a certified letter indicating that you intend to vacate and that you would like a walk-through of the apartment. This way you secure the return of your security deposit.
