Forum / Leasing Issues / Breaking lease
I am preparing a CA lease & do not see any clause for breaking the lease before the term ends. Please suggest what will be normal charges if the tenant breaks the lease in between & want to move out before the end of the lease period

RE: Breaking lease
I am not sure about charges but I do not return security deposits for tenants who break their lease as the contract has been broken. Also, I can sue for the remainder of the lease until it is rerented. Hopefully this helps.

I am wondering about the laws in South dakota? Can I do the same ?

RE: Breaking lease
Generally landlords keep security deposits if the tenants break the lease. To know more about laws in your area, consult real estate agents in your area. Recently I shifted into my new apartment through Kingsbury Homes. I have signed a one-year lease agreement. The lease terms was different in Salado, TX.
