Housing Laws

Laws current as of November 15, 2024

Until when do I have to pay my rent? Will I be charged a penalty for terminating my lease early?

If you are the only tenant, the rental agreement will end on the early termination date you included in the notice of early termination. You will be responsible for the rent until the termination date, as well as any amount that you already owed the landlord. You must pay the landlord the total amount you owe on or before the termination date.1

Your landlord cannot charge you any penalties or fees and cannot hold you responsible for future rent.2
