Is there a law that says a landlord can’t hold you to your lease if you find a house to buy?
If you find a house and your lease hasn’t completed can you move out?

the only way you can get out is in a breach of contract. or if the building is deamed not safe to live in ( mold ) or cockroach’s.have your lease checked over by a lawyer also note that landlords cant charge you for a appartment if they have a tennatn in it.once its full , lease is no longer valid, cant lease the place to anyone else or its a breach of contract on there side..

probably not. but depends on what state you live in. i live in texas and landlords hold all of the cards.

Does your lease mention anything about what happens if you want to move out early? In all likelihood, your best bet is to simply go to the landlord and tell them what your situation is. If you have been a good tenant, and if the rental market in the area is thriving, they may not have a problem letting you break the lease. While the first question may appear to be “what will the law let me do?” the better first question is actually “do you mind if I move out?” Remember, if you have a lease, the landlord probably cannot raise the rent, but if you move out, he can raise it for the next tenant.

Of course there is no law. Why should the landlord be out money for something that is NOT in his control? Approach the landlord and tell them you’ve found a house and want to see if he’d either 1)Let you break the lease and let you move out free and clear, or 2)Let you break the lease, but you’re responsible for the rent for the remaining term of your lease until he finds a new tenant. A lot of states actually require #2 (of course the landlord could let you go free still, just the min of what is required) while requiring the landlord to look in good faith for a new tenant, and if they fail to do that (doesn’t mean they don’t find one, but don’t look in good faith) you can’t be held to the lease.

this just happened to a friend of fine she had to pay her rent and her mortgage for three months because they would not let her out of it. If she stopped paying it would go on her credit report and mess her up for years even though she would have the house. She illegally got someone to finish her lease that was her only out. This landlord did not offer a buy out of your lease provision that some do
