Q: I am trying to break my year rental lease in Maryland because I’m not happy with my roommates, the landlord’s children.
I’m leasing from a couple who own a townhouse that their daughters are living in. The daughters and sisters are not on speaking terms and I feel very uncomfortable in the house. I’m looking for options on how to break the lease and they did say that they would be willing to end it if they found someone else to live there but my landlords aren’t looking themselves, their daughter is and she told me it wasn’t a priority. Is there any other way I can get out early. The only thing listed in my least is the Maryland act which is 90 day notice.
A: Unfortunately, nothing your describing would give you cause to break your lease. You will have to negotiate with the Landlord and see what accommodations can be reached.
