subject: How I Successfully Got Released From My Leasing Contract Early Because Of Finding A New Job [print this page] Once settling in New York City, with a excellent apartment in a prime location I thought I would remain there for a few years.
However this was going to change when I was offered my perfect job, on the other side of the city it was unavoidable that I had to move and more importantly break my lease.
There are many pitfalls when breaking a lease, however with the assistance of leaserelief.com, I managed to break my lease efficiently.
The first time I settled in New Yotk City, I rented an apartment in Lower Manhattan virtually next door to my office. I was grateful that I didn't have far to commute, and my apartment was in a good and safe neighbourhood. After working at my job for almost a year I started to pursue new jobs, however I was unsuccessful so agreed to continue my lease for another 6 months.
Just before Thanksgiving last year however I was called up by a firm I had applied to and they wanted me to visit to talk about an vacancy, after two interviews, I got the job and was really happy. However there were some disadvantages, my new office was in Upper East Side the other side of the New York City and ideally I wanted to move relocate.
After looking at apartments in that part of the city, I had my mind set on moving to the Upper East Side. The location was ideal, my friends lived there and it was a safe neighbourhood and close to my office block. I found my dream apartment that overlooked Central Park, however I realised that I couldn't move into it or even put a deposit down on a new apartment without breaking my current lease, but I didn't know where to start.
I searched the internet relentlessly for solutions, instead I found negative descriptions and accounts of bad experiences by other tenants that had broken their lease. I started to research the rights available to tenants, it is important to know the rights of tenants when breaking lease agreements, as you are aware of what you are or not eligible for. I set up a meeting with my landlord to discuss issues further.
Because I was a good tenant and always on time with payments, always pleasant to deal with and my apartment kept clean, my landlord agreed to release my from my lease almost six months early. It paid off to inquire about my rights as it made me aware of what I was was available to me to and how I could make the process easier. I assisted my landlord to find a new tenant and paid my rent fully until then and within two months I was settled into my new apartment.
Lease relief can be difficult and often a landlord can stop and refuse to let you break the contract. My best advice is to be a pleasant tenant and to investigate and be aware of your rights.
