Re: Broke the lease

Assuming you paid for the 2 months he didn't rent the apartment, you shouldn't owe the landlord anything.

If you didn't he can sue you for the 2 months rent. If he does and he wins its 2 months rent plus court costs.

Have you talked to the landlord and see what he would want as compensation?

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
