Breaking a Lease Due to Medical Reasons: Your Rights & Options
Key Considerations
- Review lease terms: Check for force majeure or medical termination clauses.
- Research state/local laws: Some jurisdictions protect tenants breaking leases for medical reasons.
- Gather medical documentation: Diagnosis, prognosis, doctor’s statement on how condition affects tenancy.
- Communicate with landlord: Explain situation, provide documentation, discuss options.
- Explore termination options:
- Mutual agreement (negotiated settlement, subletting).
- Lease clause allowing termination for disability.
- Landlord discretion—present justification.
