    Need to break a lease in NJ as I lost my job
    Hi

    I got laid off from my company last week. I live in Parsippany, NJ and have another 5months on my lease.

    I am on a H1B visa and the law is that I have to the leave the country within 30 days of my last pay check.

    So I am leaving the country in the next 30 days.

    What are my options to break the lease without any loss. Because my lease says that I have to pay 2 months rent if I break the lease before the lease period expires.

    Please advise what options are available to me?

    Thank you.

    Sol_seeker.

    A lease is a contract - if it says you can break the lease by paying an additional 2 months rent, that is what you have to do.
