    Angry Breaking A Lease In Missouri

    Hello:

    I'm very angry with my greedy landlord. I have been a quiet on-time paying tenant for about 4 years in St. Louis, MO. My job has required me to move overseas to Europe. My wife is and will be staying in MO for a several more weeks. My lease expires in June 07, I have talked to my landlord about breaking the lease. He says there are only two solutions I keep paying until expiration of the lease, or leave early and they keep the security deposit and I keep paying rent until they find a new tenant (until my lease expires). Of course these are no options at all, especially the second one, what kind of motivation do they have to find a new tenant if they can keep the deposit and all the rent! Total and pure greed....

    From what I can tell there are no early termination clauses in my contract and they will not allow me to sublet.

    Is there anyting I can do about this, or am I really screwed...

    Thanks for your help

    Default Re: Breaking lease in MO

    It sounds like the landlord gave you the only alternatives available.

    If the landlord will not negotiate, then you have to follow the lease.
