Asked by
I have recently lost my job. I have informed my landlord around 75 days (more than 2 months) about my situation, and that I will be breaking the lease. I have requested that she should use my deposit as my last month's rent, but she has refused unless I find a replacement for my lease. What rights do I have as a tenant? There are no diplomatic clauses in my contract. I can send a copy of my contract to anyone who is interested to take a look and help. I cannot ask my agent because they are friends (I even once caught the agent taking a shower in my unit's common bathroom). Thank you very much.

Dear tenant,

Are you referring to a case of room rental? If it is a full unit rental without diplomatic clause, the only probable solution you can work out with your landlord is to seek a replacement tenant for the unit to take over your existing lease, however, you will need to be prepared to pay the service fees for salesperson to secure the replacement tenant if you intend to hire one. Should landlord refuses such an arrangement, I have to say that contractually you are bound to fulfil the terms and conditions and there is no rights per say as a tenant.
