Many people are always asking me how can I get out of my apartment lease. Remember you are never locked into a lease. It would be ridiculous to lock somebody into something they may have to get out of.

Keep in mind your situation probably doesn’t fall into one of the categories below. And you most likely will want to involve an attorney so all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed.  Remember most apartments will require that you pay 2 months in advance. Others will require that the property re-leases your apartment home. It just depends whats in the contract.

1) Does your apartment home present a danger to your health or security?

When I was in college it rained so hard water was seeping through the apartment. It didn’t flood but it did make the apartment unlivable.  If I had more knowledge, I would have sent them a certified letter stating that if they didn’t repair the home back into its livable state I would ask for them to release me from my lease.  They did repair it but it took at least 4 or 5 days.

If your apartment refuses to repair an issue in your apartment home that can hurt you or make you sick, you can get out of the lease.

2) Did Your Apartment Give You the Old Bait and Switch?

Perhaps you toured an unbelievable model with stained concrete and awesome appliances. And they promised you your Rockwall apartments would have all the fixings.  But when you moved in there you got a dump. Well this could be considered a bait and switch. An attorney might be able to help you in this situation. However, be sure you act quickly as this excuse might only be good for a certain period of time.
