Can I break my lease if I buy a house?

A common question I get from renters that are fed up with where they are renting or are just ready to purchase their own home is...
Can I break my lease if I buy a house?
Whether or not you can break your lease if you buy a house will depend on the terms of your lease agreement. In most cases, a lease is a legally binding contract, and breaking the lease without a valid reason can result in penalties.

If you want to break your lease in order to buy a house, you will typically need to have a valid reason that is allowed by the terms of your lease agreement. For example, many lease agreements allow tenants to break the lease early if they are transferring to a new job or if they are entering military service.
If your lease does not allow you to break it early for any reason, you will typically be required to continue paying rent until the end of the lease term, unless the landlord is able to find a new tenant to take over the lease. In some cases, the landlord may be willing to work with you to find a new tenant and release you from the lease early, but this is not always the case.

If you are tired of where you are renting or if you are just ready to purchase your own home and would like for me to look over your lease to let you know what options you have, I would love to! Just reach out to me and I'll take a look!
