It is amazing to me that you clearly state you DID NOT BREAK THE LEASE
…
Yet…..you have so many saying “you broke a lease, be happy they don’t get you for more” or something to that effect.

I think you are reading the below clause incorrectly. You are taking it to mean you can terminate the lease with 30 days notice, that is not what it says.

[quote=sobmaz]Either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this lease at the expiration of said Lease or any extension thereof by giving the other thirty (30) days written notice prior to the due date.

If that is a direct quote from his lease and he states “Back in May we signed a Lease extension through June of next year”, then he did break his lease. I think you are reading the above clause incorrectly.

Then all the above clause spells out is how you would go about terminating the lease at the END of the lease or any extension of the lease. Basically you are going Month to Month at the end of the lease until you give or get 30 days notice to terminate.
