Landlord-tenant laws vary depending on the state you live in, but you can usually find them with a bit of research. Some valid reasons for breaking a lease without penalty or fees include constructive eviction, an unsafe environment, or being called to military service.
Despite moving out, remember that you do not forfeit your legal ownership rights or claims to the property. You remain a co-owner until a court decides otherwise. Your decision to move out can sometimes complicate custody discussions.
If your girlfriend's intention is to legally reside with you full time, your landlord is within their rights to compel her or both of you together to sign a new lease agreement.
The lease is a contract between the landlord and the tenants, and only the landlord can terminate the lease early. However, a judge in a divorce case can order one party to take over the lease or make arrangements for the lease to be terminated in an agreed-upon manner.
You'll need to speak to the landlord about this. Everyone including your ex has to agree to remove you. Then you will sign an addendum that removes you from the lease. If you fail to be removed from the lease, you will owe rent until the end of the lease.
Step 1: Initiate the breakup conversation. Step 2: Discuss living arrangements. Step 3: Separate finances and belongings. Step 4: Update your renters insurance policy. Step 5: Sort out co-parenting shared pets. Step 6: Lean on support systems and self-care. Step 7: Moving forward.
If the lease is solely in your name, you could do a formal eviction of partner vs having to move out. The process varies by state and some cities. But usually you have to give at least 30 days notice and follow the legal steps for it to be enforceable.
What usually happens is that one or both parties moves out. The one that remains retains the lease and the one who leaves is quits (absent a prior contractual arrangement). If both leave, the lease is dissolved (ing to the terms of the lease arrangement).
