Q: Hi, I would like to know how to break the lease of my son please who wants to move out of his place.
My son is living with 2 roommates and 1 of them is not paying, the other one has his father as guarantor. My son is always paying his share since 2 years. As a guarantor, can I get out of this contrat? My son's lease is finishing at the end of June 2025 but he wants to live before because of this unbearable situation. Can we break the lease? The roommates are on the lease and the contrat that I've signed says : "I hereby (my name) agree to be equally liable for the payment of rent on unit# for the lease signed by (name of my son) as tenant, and Carnegie Management Inc. as landlord. This guaranty shall remain in full force and affect surviving the expiration of the lease. My son wants to get out of this contrat and this apartment because the roomates are not responsable, they are not paying their share.
A:
This is not a simple undertaking. Guarantors often have no way to avoid the contract obligations in the event of a default paying rent.
Consider a legal consultation.
