Moving out of apartment 2 months early but rents already paid












1














I signed a lease for a year and my lease for my apartment ends on July 27, 2019. My rent for this apartment is already paid off fully because I paid in advance and utilities are included in the rent so I don't have anything to pay monthly since I paid ahead of time.



However I want to move into a new apartment in May of 2019 before my lease ends on July 27, 2019. Do you think I can do this since everything is already paid fully on my current apartment and just keep some of my things there as I move into my new one? So it would be like I have two apartments until the lease ends.

    Does your lease say anything about how long you can leave the property vacant for?

  • The answer here depends tremendously on where you are located, who your landlord is, and what your lease says. Talk to your landlord and see if you have options. As a landlord, I've definitely let people out of leases early, but I've also made people pay rent on an empty apt. Many factors at play.

The biggest stumbling blocks to these types of questions are when people want a refund, or in the cases where they haven't paid in advance they want to avoid being responsible for the last few months rent payments.



As a former landlord there can still be things to consider.



If the unit will be empty until the end of the lease:




  • Don't let your renters insurance end becasue you are still responsible for the apartment until the final inspection.

  • Don't turnoff the AC/heat completely. This is especially true for the heat in the winter, you don't want the pipes to burst.

  • Prepare the water system by turning off water to the toilet and if there is one turn off the water to the washing machine.

  • Adjust the temperature setting of the refrigerator, some even have a vacation setting. Defrost the freezer, turn off the water to the ice Maker/water dispenser.

  • Stop the mail delivery.

  • If this isn't an apartment/condo but is a townhouse or single family home and you have to mow the lawn make arrangements for that.


Tell the landlord. They may want to check on the unit while it is empty. If they want to show it, knowing that you will not be there makes it easy to schedule visits. Schedule the final walk through.

    Since you don't mention anything about getting a refund or anything similar I don't see what could be an issue with the scenario presented.



    There is nothing to prohibit you from having 2 apartments (or any amount of property for that case) rented at the same time.
