lease break

Early contract termination

A lease break is the early termination of a rental agreement before its scheduled end date.

Tenants who break a lease typically face penalties—forfeiting a security deposit, paying a fee, or owing rent until the landlord finds a replacement tenant.

Some leases include a lease break clause specifying terms for early termination.

We had to pay two months' rent for the lease break when I got transferred.
