Hey everyone,

I always find myself consulting CP for various questions.. I always seem to get decent answers! So here I am again..

I am currently in a lease for an apartment with boardwalk here in town. Now my lease goes until the end of May. My gf and I have been looking at the market to buy for quite a few months now, and we've seen a few open houses etc. Well we've found a townhouse/condo that we both loved and fit all of our critieria, which seems to be rare. We've put an offer in, and pending our conditions being met, it looks like we may get it.

Now originally we had agreed that after my lease we would take possession if all of the conditions are met. However now the seller wants to move it up by one month.

My current lease says that I will have to pay 1000, if I break early. It does not say anything about lost rent etc. Just wondering if anyone has broken a lease. Will I be on the hook for the 1000, plus rent, plus damage deposit??

Thanks everyone...
