Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Utah

Re: I have purchased a home, how do I break the lease?

The terms of the written lease explain the reasons for which the lease may be terminated early. The lease is not automatically terminated after 30 days notice. You should contact your landlord and ask what you can do to mitigate any early termination damages, such as YOU obtain someone to take over your lease. You may also ask about a subtenant, where you agree to guarantee the rent and condition of the apartment until the lease term expires.

Leases are binding legal documents and the terms stated in a lease are binding, unless there is some action on part of the landlord which makes the use of the apartment untenable.
