Rental lease until June, 1 mo. security if i move out in April can i be sued fro the past months i did not pay?

Most leases have a clause to terminate. Some require as little as a 30 day notice and you have to forfeit one month's rent. So, if you lucked out, you may be able to give a notice in March/April (whichever is appropriate) and only have to pay for May's rent even though you won't be living there. Some require a notice and you to pay the remainder of rent. Check your lease.





Security deposits are held differently than rent. By law, deposits are held in different types of trust accounts, so you can only use the deposit as a month's rent if the landlord agrees. If you're renting from a corporation, you can't do it. So you will have to pay for whatever time is in your lease, then wait for the security deposit to be returned to you.Rental lease until June, 1 mo. security if i move out in April can i be sued fro the past months i did not pay?
Yes. They can (and will) sue you for the months that you did not inhabit the property up until the end of the lease. They can (and will) hold your security deposit. They can (and will) also charge you incredible amounts of money for things like administrative fees, court fees, late fees, interest fees, and writ fees.





I would think your best bet is to stay until June if it's at all possible. The unfortunate thing about leases is that they are full of loopholes that benefit the landlord and/or property owner. Of course they tell you that you can end your lease early if you pay a bit more, or you can go on a month to month basis but what they don't tell you is all the things that they can charge you for if you choose to terminate your lease early.





I know plenty about this situation considering I'm going through the same thing right now. Trust me, the headache isn't worth it if you can avoid it.





I'd vote that you stay until the end of your lease.Rental lease until June, 1 mo. security if i move out in April can i be sued fro the past months i did not pay?
how can you do that, and there are hundreds of people they do the same.why not you put yourself in the landlord shoes and think about it. if you use the facility and lived there with a mutual agreement then why and how you are breaking the rule.definitely landlord can sue you . not only that ,you may go through so many more time and Energy consuming process,you can be burden financially too. always try to do right thing.what you do not want or like for yourself how can you think to do for others?
Yes, you can. If you signed a lease, it requires you to pay for the entire period of the lease. You can get out of paying part of it if the landlord re-rents the home during the period of the lease, though.
yes you owe any monies due to the landlord for the months you lived there and did not pay...and the landlord can hold you responsible for the rent until the lease is over if the breaking of the contract was not agreed upon..
not only they will sued you you will have a hard time renting


anywhere in the future a rental document is a legal contract


they will take you to court you will have to pay court costs and attorney fees
Of course. You can be sued for any money your failed to pay during your lease term.
