haha I think the landlord (or tenants) can file Civil Complaint (in Maryland,we call Form DC/CV1)......................... who will win? 350 might be reasonable if and only if the tenantshould pay.... A lease obligates you to pay rent through the end of the lease. If you break your lease, the landlord can hold you responsible for the rent due through the remainder of the lease. However, a landlord is required to make a reasonable effort to re-rent the apartment to limit losses (Efforts Provision:善良管理者之义务) If the landlord is able to re-rent the unit, you are only responsible for the rent until the date the new tenant moves in. However, a landlord with multiple vacant units is not required to put a new tenant into the unit you have vacated. Also, a landlord can hold you responsible for costs of re-renting, such as advertising for a new tenant. so the short-term (seasonal) lease is 2 months... I use 2 months into calculation. Notice: notice to terminate lease ............... I think the tenant has done so... (and I don't think they have this provision. so it is not the issue..... ※ 引述《allfail (我要xx了)》之铭言： : ※ 引述《wisdomtanya (wisdom)》之铭言： : : normally breaking a lease costs 1 month rent=715 : : the standard lease term is 1 month : : and in this case 2 month : : so 715*2/12=119 : : so 350 is unbelieveable ........ : : according to Maryland's law (for assuming your state is the same) : : the max security is 2 month rent..... : : so 119*2=238 : : so 350 still too high : 1. Things are not scalable this way. In general, the shorter the term, : the more expensive the cancellation fee would be. : 2. Even if you follow this scaling, you can only count the days that : both sides agree that the apartment is not leased.

There is no reason he can "rewind" and refuse to : pay for the days before the decision. And there is usually a period between : your moveout date and the date you let the landlord know about it. : 3. The problem is not really about money. It has already been said; I don't : think there is a valid contract since sublease is illegal. The real problem : is about the responsibility; the OP seems to think somehow he does not have : to be fully responsible for the loss of $700 for the two people combined : due to he's not showing up. That is simply not right. --
