What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
I am unclear how to interpret these two clauses in my lease. Am I understanding this that if I wanted to break my lease early, I would pay $300 to the property manager on top of any remaining rent for the remainder of the lease, however it sounds like I would have the right to try and find a subletter but that the property management company would have the right to approve or disapprove of the subletter (meaning it would be in my interest to first find a subletter and have the subletter apply through the property manager first and if approved then I would pay the $300 fee?)?
6. LEASE BREAK. In the case that a lease break is requested, the Tenant shall first submit
such request in writing to the management office. A Lease break amount of $300.00 will
automatically be assessed upon such request. This charge will in no way release the Tenant of
their obligation to pay rent under the terms of the Lease until the premises is re-rented by the
Tenant or the Lease expires, whichever may come first. Tenant shall bear all reasonable costs of
re-renting the premises over and above the lease break penalty, including, but not limited to,
publication costs and labor, if Tenant attempts to re-rent the premises prior to the expiration of
the Lease.
19. SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not sublet part or all of the Premises without Landlord’s
written consent. Tenant shall not assign this lease without Landlord’s written consent. The
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The minimum charge for subletting is
$300.00.
