Lease Termination Without Clause

Summary

If your lease lacks a break clause, terminating early may require paying the remaining rent, losing your security deposit, and incurring termination fees. If your business is a limited company, the company is responsible for the lease, and the landlord may claim unpaid rent from the companys assets if dissolved. Personal liability depends on any personal guarantees. To negotiate a termination agreement, communicate early with your landlord, propose solutions like finding a replacement tenant, and consider consulting a lawyer to review agreements.
