Breaking a Residential Lease for Job

[Karen1109]

What is the name of your state? Nevada

A few months ago my husband and I entered into a 1 year lease on a home. Recently I took a job and now the employer requires me to move out of State. I have 9 months left on my 1yr lease agreement. Can I legally break my lease to move for my job?

The topic of this question should be Breaking a Residential Lease by choice and you will see why below.

Short Answer: No

Question Answer:
What does your lease(contract), that you read and agreed to, say about early termination?

Answer:
Your question is common and has been previously answered* (here is one example):

One key note of the above post is this:

and by the way people, this is NOT a job transfer which MIGHT be grounds under the lease to terminate early.

This is a NEW JOB completely under the control of the poster.

My opinion of your options:
1) Pay a fee to break your lease
2) Find a problem to break your lease
3) Use the lease to break the lease (section pertaining to early termination)
4) Wait out the lease
5) Find a replacement renter
6) Join the military
