A lease can be terminated in a number of ways, but most frequently, a lease or rental agreement is terminated by expiration of the lease's term OR by mutual consent.
Terminating a Lease If you are renting month-to-month, you are entitled to a 30-day written notice. Leases running year-to-year require a 60-day written notice. YOUR LANDLORD DOES NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOU ANY REASON FOR TERMINATING THE LEASE.
It's typically best to provide a written notice to your landlord, at least 30 to 60 days in advance of moving out, that you plan to break your lease. In your notice, include a move-out date and your reasons for breaking your lease.
The tenant must give a 30 day notice in order to terminate the lease. The rent must be pro-rated up until the date of the lease termination. (New Jersey Safe Housing Act, N.J.S.A. -9.4 et seq.)
Except as provided in Section 9-206 and Section 9-207.5 of this Act, in all cases of tenancy from year to year, 60 days' notice, in writing, shall be sufficient to terminate the tenancy at the end of the year. The notice may be given at any time within 4 months preceding the last 60 days of the year.
30 days of notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy, decline to renew your lease or raise your rent if you have lived in your apartment for less than six months. 60 days of notice for the same if you have lived in your apartment for more than six months but less than three years.
