wherefrom As a tenant, you may have a very good reason to terminate your contract prematurely. If you have asked your landlord to repair the heating without luck in winter, you may find it useful to send a final letter. Terminating a lease to the landlord may explain why you think the landlord has violated the implied guarantee of habitability and why you need to terminate the contract and find a warm home for you and your family. Lease termination letters are the most commonly used to allow a tenant or lessor to terminate a monthly lease agreement (also known as a “post-authorization lease”). A termination letter can also be used to attempt to terminate a lease if the tenant or lessor has breached their lease by filing a termination, whereas in this case, each party normally has a period of time to “cure” the problem.
