Apartment Rental Contract

Two of my friends and I rent an apartment 10 months ago, the contract is for one year .. so there is still two months to the end. But now, one of them left the United States, and the other died because of some patients. I just want to know if I can cancel the lease in that position. And I live in CT.

Thank you for reading

I want to talk to your landlord about this situation. See what they are willing to do for you.

If you signed the lease, you are responsible for the rent for the remainder of the lease. Tenants are jointly and severally liable. You can talk to your landlord about advertising your unit now and if he can find a new tenant, he can get out of the lease. Google landlord-tenant laws in CT.

Yes, the death of one of the signatories of the agreement cancels the lease.

You will need a copy of your certificate of death friends. You'll still have to give the owner a notice of 30 days, but the lease is not enforceable at this time.
