给大家提个醒 关于early termination 在lease上要严谨一些

我的不够airtight，最近要吃亏了

正确的写法是这样的：

Early Termination by Tenant

 

If Tenant terminates this Lease before the expiration date, other than as permitted by law, Tenant must:

 

1. Provide at least 30 days’ written notice; and
2. Pay a one-time reletting fee equal to two months’ rent, which is intended to cover administrative, marketing, and re-rental costs and is not rent.

Payment of the reletting fee does not end Tenant’s rent obligation. Tenant remains responsible for rent until the earlier of:

 

• the date a replacement tenant begins paying rent; or
• the Lease expiration date.

Landlord will make reasonable efforts to re-rent the property. Tenant will not be responsible for rent after a replacement tenant begins paying rent.

 

No Buy-Out Right. This Lease does not grant Tenant an automatic right to buy out or terminate the Lease early by payment of a fee alone. Any early release, rent cap, or settlement must be agreed to separately and in writing by Landlord.

 

我写了reletting fee但是没写reletting fee doesn't end tenants rent obligations. 让人觉得可以buyout。在rental market比较弱的地方还是要多保护自己的利益比较好。
