My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Connecticut
I'm a renter in Connecticut. I told my landlord a few days ago that I need to move out on July 1st due to a new job (so roughly 60 days notice). My lease isn't up until September 1st, so I'm on the line for 2 month's rent if he doesn't find new tenants.
He said he isn't going to start advertising the place for another month. I asked if I could advertise the place myself and forward respondents' contact info to him, but he said I can't advertise on sites like Craigslist, show the place, have them fill out rental applications, etc. He said if I know anyone personally, I'm free to send him their info and he will take it from there.
I just learned that he is planning to sell the building when my lease is up, so he has absolutely no incentive to re-rent the place. We had a verbal agreement at the time of renewing our lease that he would let me out early, and now that he is selling it is convenient for him to say he doesn't remember that agreement.
My question: if my landlord has told me in writing that I can't advertise to try and find replacement tenants, and I have given a whole 60 days notice, does that mean he isn't acting appropriately to mitigate damages? The lease doesn't prohibit me from advertising, it only says I can't "assign or sublet" my lease or the premises.
Thanks!
