I rent an apartment in the state of Kentucky. I am just getting ready to close on a home with 2 months left on my lease. I was told it was a Kentucky law that if I bought a home I could get out of my lease. Is this correct?

Don't beleve so, have you talked to the landlord? That is always the first thing, even if they don't have to, many good landlords will let you out just being nice.

This is an old wives tale. You signed a legal agreement to rent for a specific period and will most likely be held to the legal agreement. See if the landlord will accept a buy out. Don't just walk away from this. There could be serious and costly consequences down the line.

I'm related to a Kentucky lawyer and he says your chances of an early out are zero. Pay the next two months and jope he gets a new tenant soon, you'll get the difference.
