Summary

This eFormKit discusses the five legal ways to walk away from a residential lease without running afoul of the landlord or the law. In plain English, it explains the ins and outs of getting out, including how to:

  • get the landlord to cancel the lease
  • terminate the lease by finding a new tenant
  • assign the lease to someone else
  • sublet

The eFormKit also covers what happens if you simply walk away. It includes forms for terminating or assigning a lease, and provides a sample letter for a landlord-tenant buy-out agreement.
