Breaking a lease contract?
I rented my flat on a 12 month lease contract and asked that this contract be one with a 6 month break clause with the agent prior to receiving the contract. On the day of signing the contract i forgot to look out for this clause ans signed it, and having gone through it the other day cant find anything in the contract referring to this. I have the letter from the agent initially stating that this was going to be a 12 month contract with the option to break in 6 months. Will this letter suffice and allow me to break contract without paying for the remainder of the contract?

- You can break the lease, but alot of places will require you to pay a break lease fee. Which is usually like a month or two of rent.
- The contract stands as signed, You may be able to work with them to let you out early and the letter may help with that.
- break it and let them keep the deposit, they should consider themselves lucky you leaving it in good condition
