Afternoon All;
My Sister is having a new house built and is renting in the interim.
She has signed a 12 month lease due to expire in December.
Her new house is almost complete and ready for her to move into in 3 weeks.
She has spoken to the agent, who isn’t that interested and is not really trying to find a replecement tenant, and also to the owner who refuses to release her from the lease.
Hence the dillema: is there any way/ strategies she can use to get out of the current lease?
she might jst have to pay it out – it’s only really 3 months rent. I guess that is one of the things with building a house – you take it as it comes. Imagine if the house had been delayed and she had to live there anyway. She can still leave, just has to keep paying the rent.
Why did she sign a 12 month lease when she didn’t need 12 months? Why didn’t she jsut go month to month if she knew her house was been built?
With limited rentals available, a 12 month lease was the only option.
It now seems that “an arrangement” has been made with the owner who wants early access to the property anyway.
Regards
Darylwhat state is she in? If she is in SA send me a pm, I may be able to offer a suggestion.
I’m not familiar with tenancy legislation in any other state, just SA!
