However this was about to alter when I was offered the perfect job, on the other side of town it was unavoidable that I had to move and more crucially break my lease.

There are many dangers when breaking a lease, some that are unavoidable, however with help from leaserelief.com, I managed to break my lease stress-free.

When I first settled in New York City, I leased an apartment in Lower Manhattan right next door to my office. I was grateful that I didn't have far to commute, and my apartment was in a good neighbourhood. After working at my job for almost a year I started to browse for new jobs, however I was unsuccessful so agreed to continue my lease for another 6 months.

Just before Christmas last year however I was called up by a firm I had applied to after two interviews, I got the job and was overjoyed! However there were some disadvantages, my new office was in Upper East Side the other side of the New York City and ideally I needed to move.

After looking at apartments in that part of the city, I had my heart set on moving to Upper East Side. The location was perfect,all ...
... my friends lived there and it was a good neighbourhood with plenty to do. 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 put a deposit down on my new apartment without breaking my current lease, but how to do this I didn't know where to begin.

I searched the internet endlessly for solutions, instead I found horror stories and accounts of bad experiences by others that had broken their lease. I started to research the rights I had, it is important to know 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 matters further.

Because I was a good tenant with no unpaid bills, pleasant to deal with and apartment kept clean, my landlord agreed to release my from my lease three months early. It paid off to inquire about my rights as it made me aware of what I was was available to me 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 was settled into my new apartment.

Lease relief can be difficult and often a landlord can even refuse to break the contract. My best advice is to be a pleasant tenant and to read up on and be aware of your rights.
