My lease is up July 31st 2013. I'm getting a new job and have the flexibility of either leaving end of April or end of May. MY lease agreement states that I pay the last month of rent, when I give my 30 day notice, and also two months of rent as an early termination fee.
I called the property manager and apparently there is no way around this, it is what it is. Seems sad, I'm giving them almost 5 months notice and have been a good tenant for the past 18 months.
If I decide to leave end of May, I won't pay the termination fee as it would be no different as if I just stayed for June and July, not giving them the chance to double up on their money if they get a tenant in quickly...I'll just leave the place vacant for two months.
Termination fee $1,700...
