no but u lose the deposite.
If I understand correctly, and I am not a lawyer, people can sue for any reason. It is whether they can convince a court that they are right, and that you caused them harm, is the real question.
yes u signed a lease and he can take u to court and get the whole rent amount u would still owe. however its up to the judge to accept the facts on the selling part…L
They can try……they can only sue for the actual loss incurred. If the house went empty for 2 months….then they can seek 2 months damages.
Yes, because the new owner was buying an “occupied” unit– they would pay less for an empty unit. Renter’s law is different in every state though, and depending on your reason for breaking the lease, you may not be liable for future rent, but you would almost surely lose your deposit.
If you leave before your lease is up they can make you pay until the end of the lease date or settle for some lease-breakage fee. You may be able to negotiate to pay until they find someone to take over your lease.
If they sell the property then you’d have to pay the new owners as of the date of the sale.
