My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Pennsylvania
Stupidly, I signed a two year lease without an opt-out clause and two weeks before I moved in a family emergency changed my situation and I have to move across country. I understand that a lease is a contract but was surprised the LL wasn't willing to take 2-3 months rent to rip up the lease.
The LL has said that they will try to rent the property and we'll settle up from there. How do I ensure that the LL is reasonably trying to re-lease the place? They're not exactly incentivized to try very hard. Also, the LL has suggested it is fine if someone wants a one year lease. Am I still on the hook for the next year, even if there's a new lease drawn up? Lastly, what if they can't find a tenant at the listing price? How does that scenario typically play out?
Thank you!
