Hello
I am currently "between houses"- bought out of existing home and waiting for a new homes development that will be ready in about 6 months time. I am staying with elderly relatives but can't hack this for another 6 months.
My problem is that I need to rent a house/ apartment for 6 months, but almost all leases seem to be for a year.
Question- if you sign a one year lease but break it after 6 months, what is the situation? I know people will say "it depends on the lease you signed.."However, in general terms, am I correct in believing that most lease terms state that I will loose my deposit unless the landlord / letting agent is feeling generous/ can re-let straight away?
