Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Breakage of Lease when a Company Transfers you elswhere

I suggest you consult an attorney. Your lease must be reviewed. However, your Landlord can not rent your unit to someone else and still demand payment for rent for the same months. The Landlord can collect for damages to the unit, but is limited to his actual loss in rental income assuming you are still liable under your lease. Hope that your Landlord rents the unit. He is a little greedy here. However, there is no provision in Pennsylvania law that will relieve you of a lease obligation if you are transfered. All your rights must flow under actual terms of the written the lease document. It must be reviewed. If your do not have a written lease, you are only required to give thirty days notice. Again your actual circumstances must be reviewed by competent legal counsel to fully evalutate your rights. A failure to return the security deposit under certain circumstances under Pennsylvania law if not returned within thirty days. In any event the Landlord is limited to his actual loss and has a duty to mitigate his losses. Good luck.
