RE: Exception to lease

Often landlords will allow a "break" clause which gives your tenants an out. But whenver I have seen this done there is generally a penalty. Usually like two months rent.

RE: Exception to lease

I had a tenant once that because of health issues was legally allowed to break the lease and get out a few months early. This was in NJ also. It is legal and there was nothing that i could do about it. Hope this helps you.
