Exiting Lease Agreement Early
Summary
To exit a one-year tenancy early in British Columbia, consider negotiating with your landlord, subletting, or assigning the lease with landlord consent. Ensure any replacement tenant meets lease criteria and obtain written consent from the landlord. If the landlord breaches the agreement or the property becomes uninhabitable, these may also be grounds for early termination. Always review your lease for specific clauses related to early termination, subletting, or assignment.Full Conversation
I can share the lease agreement
Thanks for sharing that. Before you share the lease agreement, could you let me know if there is a specific clause or issue you're concerned about in the lease that might help us find a way to address your situation?
not really, I am at a crossroads but I need to vacate and rent another place this months, what if we vacate the and give the landlord security deposit
In British Columbia, if you need to vacate before the end of your lease term, you can:
- Negotiate with Your Landlord: Offer to forfeit your security deposit in exchange for early termination.
- Find a Replacement Tenant: Sublet or assign the lease to someone else.
Would you like more information on how to proceed with either option?

The consent by the Landlord to any assignment or sublease shall not constitute a
waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease.
In the event that the Landlord consents to any such assignment, subletting, or
licensing of the whole or any part of the Premises, and in the event that the total of
the Rent, including Basic Rent and Additional Rent and any other consideration or
remuneration paid by the assignee, subtenant, or licensee, during each and every
month of the Term, is greater than the Rent that would be paid by the Tenant
hereunder (pro-rated if necessary to reflect the pro-rata portion of the Premises
being assigned, sublet or licensed), then the Landlord shall be entitled to be paid
such excess and the Tenant shall promptly pay such amount to the Landlord on the
first day of each month during the Term.
