Can someone help me interpret this lease jargon regarding breaking my apartment lease?

There are two types of damages... physical damage to the property and monetary damage that the landlord suffers as a result of you breaking your lease agreement early. When you break your lease agreement early, the landlord has to advertise and get the property ready before they intended to, and while that doesn't sound like much it can be- trust me I've been there. They will also not be receiving the rent from you as you agreed to in the lease during that time.

When it says "damages or costs that result from any breach of this lease by Lessee" this is what it is referring to. Now, this is just covering what could happen to your deposit by default if you break your lease. That doesn't mean the landlord can't or won't charge you for other things in addition to and over the amount of the deposit.

It is entirely possible that not only will you not get your deposit back, you may also OWE on top of it. What the landlord can and cannot charge you for after breaking a lease will be dictated by your State's landlord tenant law. In many cases, the landlord can continue charging you rent until they find a new renter... and that could be months of additional rent you have so far assumed you wouldn't have to pay.

If he is legally allowed to charge it and you don't pay it, he can sue you for it, and will win because you're the one who has broken the lease agreement. If it were brought up in court, the "($N/A)" would be seen as an oversight, that it is clear from the rest of the agreement what you were to do, and you would still be found at fault. At the end of the day you signed an agreement that you would pay X amount of rent monthly for X amount of months, and you're not making good on that promise.

Your best bet to ensure you don't get charged more or get dragged to court over it is to call the landlord, explain the situation, and ASK if there are any terms by which they would permit you to break your lease, such as finding a replacement renter yourself (who can move in as soon as you leave so they don't miss any rent payments) or pay a break-lease fee to satisfy the agreement. You're asking them for a favor here so it's best to be as sweet as possible... because the alternative to them taking pity on your situation and giving you an "out" is that if they so choose they can hold you to the terms of that agreement to the full extent of the law and sue you for it later.

You lose your deposit straight away the '$ not applicable' simply means they have put no set sum that they may need to deduct from your deposit IF you complete your lease owing money. You may for instance have owed $60 when your lease ended and they are covering themselves that they can deduct it from the deposit before any damages are accounted for. Breaking your lease simply means you lose the deposit and can be sued for rent due to the end of the lease as agreed by you when you signed up.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
