I was hoping someone could help me answer this. I have a lease which states that the length of sublease (its in a co-op where the owner is renting out their condo) is one year. The rider has the option of going to two years if both parties agree. Is this an effective two year lease or one year?
I ask because my girlfriend and I would like to terminate the lease but the LL is viewing this as a breach of contract were we would be liable to cover real estate costs, and lost rent, until they find a replacement. Again, they view us leaving on the one year mark as earlier to their interpretation of a two year lease.
We don't want to pay extra - there is nothing in the agreements that states we're responsible for those costs.
Please, any advice would be helpful
