Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts
Breaking a Lease
I have a one year lease and i still have 4 months to go. However, i spoke with the landlord and she is verbally allowing me to break the lease without any penalties. Should she still return the security deposit?

Request Landlady sign a statement that the lease may be terminated without penalty and that the security deposit will be returned in full unless deductions are itemized for damages found that were not listed on the written statement of condition you should have signed at the signing of the lease.
