Once I notify my landlord that I want to end my lease, do I still have to pay my rent?

You are responsible for rent until the termination of the lease. Early termination of the lease does not relieve you from:

  • rent owed prior to the termination;
  • any responsibility for damaged property; or
  • any other responsibilities you had under the rental agreement while you were a tenant.1

1 CT ST § 47a-11e(c)
