However this was about to completely change when I was offered my perfect job, on the other side of town it was inevitable I had to move and more essentially break my lease.

There are many hazards when breaking a lease, some that are unavoidable, however with help from leaserelief.com, I managed to break my lease easily.

The first time I settled in New Yotk City, I lived in an apartment in Lower Manhattan which was almost next door to my office. I was grateful that I didn't have far to travel into work, and my apartment was in a good and safe neighbourhood. After working at my job for over a year I started to browse for new jobs, however I was unsuccessful so agreed to continue my lease for a further six months.

Just before Christmas last year however I was called up by a company I had applied to after two interviews, I got the job and was really happy. However there were some drawbacks, my new office was in Upper East Side the opposite side of the New York City and ideally I wanted to move.

After looking for apartments in that area of the city, I had my heart set on moving to the Upper East Side. The location was perfect,all my friends lived there and it was a safe neighbourhood and close to my office block. I found my dream apartment that was on the edge of Central Park, however I realised that I couldn't move into it or even secure a deposit on the new apartment without breaking my current lease, but I didn't know where to start.

I searched the internet endlessly for solutions, instead I found horror stories and accounts of bad encounters by other tenants that had broken their lease. I started to research the rights I had, it is important to understand the rights of tenants when breaking a lease, as you know what you are or not eligible for. I scheduled a meeting with my landlord to discuss issues further.

Because I was a good tenant with up to date payment, always pleasant to deal with and my apartment kept clean, my landlord agreed to release my from my lease six months early. It paid off to inquire about my rights as it made me aware of what I was entitled to and how I could make the process easier. I assisted my landlord to find a new tenant and paid my rent fully until then and within two months I had moved into my new apartment.

Lease relief can be difficult and occasionally a landlord can stop and refuse to let you break the contract. My best advice is to be a helpful tenant and to read up on and be aware of your rights.
