I have clauses in my lease for breaking it at my discretion by paying a fee. Basically I told them that I would like to rent and plan on staying the whole term but don’t want the legal liability of the longer term lease in case “life happens”. So I told them lets put a box around it and put a number on it and got it done.
I’ve got great credit and impeccable references so I have more negotiating power than say someone who has poor or no credit.
