Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Broken Lease

I am signed into a one year lease. I wish to break the lease. The lease states that ''..said premises the management hereby agrees to rent to the said resident on a 1 year basis at a rental of...'' it also states ''..in consideration hereof and of the use or occupancy of the said premises, resident agrees to...7. give 30 days written notice by registered mail prior to vacating said premesis, and to permit prospective tenants the opportunity of reasonable inspection.'' Does this mean I'm allowed out?

Re: Broken Lease

Unless the lease is reviewed it is impossible to advice you with certainty. However, assuming it is a traditional lease you would not be able to break the lease without consent of the Landlord. The thirty day notice provision is probably a provision that requires termination prior to the expiration of your lease. A failure to give such a notice could result in an automatic renewal for a one year period. I suggest you consult legal counsel to have the lease reviewed. I will be happy to review the lease for the sum of $50 payable in advance. If you have any questions, let me know. Gerald Hershenson Esq. 215-579-9390
