The actions to avoid when circumstances lead you to break your lease:
Don’t leave without notice – Even if you don’t have any unpaid balance, taking off unannounced will still reflect on your credit rating. This will affect your chance to qualify for any type of credit.
Don’t pretend that you’re still a tenant. – Paying your rental fee religiously even if you’ve already left does not make it right. The landlord expects his property to be occupied and it should be as he expects it.
Don’t be defensive when negotiating. – Acknowledge that you’re breaking the lease and apologize for creating such an inconvenience. Your need is to be able move out of the premises without any hitch and to be able to still maintain a good relationship with your landlord.
