No you don't.
Debra Thal (username) :
You cannot breach a lease for medical reasons.
Debra Thal (username) :
And this is not about notice.
Debra Thal (username) :
Unless the lease allows for early termination with notice you must pay rent until January 6, 2012.
Debra Thal (username) :
It is a fixed term lease.
Debra Thal (username) :
I don't know what rent you pay but that is what you owe the landlord.
Debra Thal (username) :
But the landlord has a duty to try and mitigate his damages.
Debra Thal (username) :
This means he must take all steps possible to find a new tenant.
Debra Thal (username) :
And if he wants to sue you for the remaining money owing on the lease he must prove this is what he did.
Debra Thal (username) :
And you only owe the rent until he finds a new tenant.
Debra Thal (username) :
Do you know if he found a new tenant already?
Debra Thal (username) :
Is $1400 one month's rent?
Debra Thal (username) :
Doe he say he's coming after you for the rest of the money?
What province is this please?
