标 题: 请有法律知识的来帮忙——麻省关于提前中止租房合约的法律规定
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Mon Nov 7 10:48:29 2011, 美东)
因为工作/家庭原因,要moving out of state,需要提前两个月中止租房合约。今年九
月份续租了半年的合约,本来是二月底到期的,但是我们现在十二月底之前就要搬出。
问了landlord,说是不能更改lease,必须付房租直到2月份。
我google了一下,查到这个州政府网站,关于tenants' rights and responsibilities:
http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=ocaterminal&L=4&L0=Home&L1=Consumer
里面这样说的:
A Tenant with a Lease is one who signs a lease to rent a particular
apartment for a specified period of time. Under this tenancy, ...if you need
or choose to move out before the end of the lease, in most circumstances
the landlord has a duty to mitigate his/her loss by looking for another
tenant to replace you.
不知道有没有这方面法律经验的来说一说,是不是我可以在即使有lease的情况下也可
以提前终止租约并不需要支付提前搬出之后的房租?另外,也请有相关经历/经验的朋
友说一说,我应该怎样做才能将自己的损失减到最小,如果损失在所难免的话?
谢谢大家。 |

this category. They have what they believe is a valid reason for breaking
their lease (such as a marriage or a job transfer), but it's just not one
that the law recognizes as an excuse for avoiding a penalty.
Fortunately, there's hope to avoid a penalty even in this situation. Most
states require landlords to "mitigate damages" by making reasonable attempts
to re-rent your apartment once you give notice. So, consider doing the
following:
Give as much notice as possible
Offer to help by looking for a replacement tenant yourself
Most of the time, if you've been a good tenant and the landlord believes she
can re-rent your apartment, you should be OK. However, if your landlord has
trouble finding a tenant to take over immediately, or if your landlord
loses any rent during the remainder of your lease term, you may be
responsible for paying the difference.

t*******t 发帖数: 369 | 4 多谢你的建议
landlord的确是要我出具一份letter告知提前搬出的计划和具体时间等。
但是他也说了这个季节很难找到租客
他的apartment管理不好,今年夏天/秋天搬走了很多租客
我倒是想帮他找人续租,估计有点困难

s*******n 发帖数: 108 | 6 不觉得有什么好办法,你这交两个月的罚金很正常
我们当时搬出去的时候是5月,提前两个月通知,再给房东两个月罚金都不干,一定让
我们交到他找到新的租客(而且他还涨了房租!)为止
我们也很生气,干脆就不交下个月房租了,房东就妥协了,收了两个月罚金签字终止了

p******t 发帖数: 3764 | 7 我这次break lease只交了重新租房的广告费,从deposit里面扣除,剩下的deposit除了
扣除必要的清理费以外(如果有的话),剩余部分是要退还的
大概一两百块钱,另外付房租到租出去为止。现在房子已经有下家了
房东不能随便扣deposit, 要查你们州的条文
私人房东一般不懂这些,随便狮子大开口
比较地道的property management company不敢这么做的 |
t*******t 发帖数: 369 | 8 恩,我这家属于“非常不地道的property management company”。。。

t*******t 发帖数: 369 | 9 很多是租期满了不再续租
有一家买了房子提前搬走,他们的lease也是2月份到期,10月份搬走的
听说是他们就交了600刀的所谓罚金
反正房子至今也没有找到人续租
