Breaking Lease Early Options

Summary

If your roommate is on the lease and wants to leave early, they may still be responsible for their share of rent unless an agreement is reached with the landlord. Review the lease for early termination clauses, which may require notice and fees. If no clause exists, negotiate with the landlord or find a replacement tenant.
