How to break a rental lease in California. I need lots of help!?

I would like to break my lease because I have a job opportunity in another state. How would breaking my lease affect me? Does it go on my credit report? Will there be fines or legal ramifications? How will this affect me trying to rent an apartment in another state?How to break a rental lease in California. I need lots of help!?
Talk to your landlord and see what he can do for you. Just be very flexible and maybe pay for advertising to get a new tennant. If no dice and you move out, he can collect rent from you for 3 months before letting you off the hook. As a landlord, we can get sued by the tennant (ask me how I know this! ;)) if we don't make an effort to fill the place.





If you just high tail out of there with nothing, he can get a judgement against you and it could affect your credit. By the time he does this, you'll be in your new place. I do suggest you two work something out.

You can break the lease but it will cost you. How long is left on the lease? What does your lease say about early termination?Tech you are responsible for the terms of the lease but there is something in contract law called mitigated damages:





Under mitigated damages each party even the non-breaching party has a legal duty to mitigate their damage. This means the landlord after you move out will have to make a good faith effort to rent the place again at the same time, you will be responsible for the rent during this time as well as re-letting advertising, though judges will usually only give a landlord two or three months rent , but you will have to pay the rent or it can go against your credit plus if you use him as a reference for next landlord that could be a problem
Tell the landlord that you need to move but you're will to show the property to potential tenants.
Its pretty easy to break a lease... There most likely will just be a penalty fee for breaking the lease early, but it wont go on your credit, as long as you pay that fee. Just be honest with the landlord and give them enough notice to find another tenant, and things should be fine. It shouldnt affect moving to another apartment at all as long as you take care of the penalty fee and any money you owe them for damage or anything like that.
