Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

Landlord allow tenant to break the lease

I am a landlord and Iam trying to get into agreement with my tenant to vacate the appartment before the expiration of the lease without penalty, because she can not longer afford to pay the rent so she is late all the time.

I need advise what should I state on the letter so she can sign it .

Re: Landlord allow tenant to break the lease

There is no magic in the words. Just write out what your deal is, including how the security deposit should be divided and both of you sign it.

Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with an attorney who is familiar with landlord/tenant law for a full consultation before you take any further steps. Good luck!
