What You Should Know Before Using Our Early Lease Termination Letter

If you cast aside the romance, a fixed term lease is almost like a marriage with a time limit - You have two parties coming together to form a legally-binding relationship. For a surrender of lease to work, you need both parties to give the green light.

Sometimes the timing is perfect and everyone wants out of the lease. But in most cases, only one side wants the lease to end. It can be a landlord who wants to take back the property for major renovations or a tenant who's relocating due to work. That's when you need to dangle the lease surrender payment carrot... to entice the other side into saying yes to a lease termination.

As long as everyone is happy, a surrender of tenancy can take place anytime you please. In other words, you don't have to put yourself through a waiting period.

*Make sure this free lease termination form complies with your local real estate laws before using it. If you have any doubts, you can ask a real estate lawyer online.
