Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
Terminating lease due to landlord breach
We signed a sublease in December 2008 for a condo, and upon moving in, found that the owner hadn't been paying condo fees so all the amenities that were supposed to be provided to us by the original lease were not available. This was not told to us by the original leasor. We have tried to work through the original leasor to get the owner to pay them per the lease, but he will not, and is apparently in a court battle with t he condo association. We're not even sure if the owner is paying the mortgage. We would like to terminate the lease, as we were decieved and now consider the landlord and leasor in breach. What are our options? Can we provide the owner with certified notice asking for resolution within a certain time frame, and if it's not met, walk away?

Re: Terminating lease due to landlord breach
Without reviewing your original lease and all of the relevant facts relating to these so-called amenities and whether the failure to provide them might reasonably be construed as a material breach on the part of the landlord-lessor, I couldn't offer an opinion as to whether you might be able to prematurely terminate this lease without penalty.
