Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey
Breaking the lease
My lease will end at the end of February, but I would like to break the lease. I looked at the agreement and I didn�t see anything about � Early Termination�. I give my landlord 30 days notes. Am I will be responsible to pay lease thru end of February?
Thank you,
Irina

Re: Breaking the lease
You still might be responsible for the rent for the months left on the lease following your departure. However, the landlord has a duty to mitigate damages and put forth reasonable efforts to find a tenant.
