I currently reside in Queens, NY, and I have a lease that runs until November 2003. When I notified the Landlord, in July, that I will be moving at the end of August. I was handy an agreement to sign that said that I would pay August's rent (a given), also September's and October's rent, and on top of that forfeit my one month Security Deposit.
There is nothing that I can see in the lease that covers early lease termination, so natural I'm wondering if the Landlord is trying to pull a fast one.
I have not signed the agreement but, I am wondering what are my rights, and who I should contact if indeed the Landlord is trying to be cute?
Thank you in advance.
