This might seem like a silly question, but I was hoping for help clarifying this final sentence in the Notice to Vacate section of my lease.
"Tenant will be liable for one full month's rent from the time written notice is given or for rent through the end of the lease term, whichever is later."
I need to get out of my lease which has about 7 months left. I have several ways of getting out of the lease, but I would like to be clear on this statement. I understand what the sentence is saying and why they say it, but I am curious if this statement could be considered unclear or weak in a courtroom. They are saying if I give 30 days notice while there are 30 days left on the lease then I will owe the last months rent of course. it also means that if I give notice 6 months before my lease ends that I will be responsible for rent till the end of my lease. can they even legally charge me the entire rest of the lease if someone else moves in? also does the sentence seem weak enough to get out of paying the rest of the lease in a worst case type scenario?
Thanks for your thoughts about this.
