Accepted Answer

Students are requested to directly contact the apartment management office to raise any unmet expectations and coordinate with the apartment. If there is no room for delay and you don&#x27;t want to break the contract, the best way is to sublet the house to others. We strongly discourage moving out of an apartment without communication. Because in the United States, once the contract is signed, the contract becomes effective. If you do not move in or move out directly, it is equivalent to unilaterally breaking the contract and you will bear high liquidated damages.

Question 45

Renting a house in the United States, after signing the lease, can I cancel the lease at any time?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, once the lease is signed, it will take effect immediately, and neither party can terminate the contract in advance. Relevant laws in the United States stipulate that if the tenant signs a long-term lease, he must bear the rent for the entire lease period. Even if he cannot move out, the landlord still has the right to require the tenant to pay all the rent. If the tenant does have special circumstances and must withdraw the lease, in most cases, the landlord will require the current tenant to find the next tenant as soon as possible before moving out, but the rent during the vacant period must be paid by the current tenant. Customers make payments until the expiration date. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, it is best to follow the lease agreement, because there is a close relationship between everyone&#x27;s rent payment record and credit record. If you cancel the lease by force, it is likely to seriously affect your credit record, and You also have to pay one to two months more rent, which is a big loss.
