Violating an apartment lease occurs when a tenant does something prohibited by the legally binding document that he or she has signed with a landlord. Which situation below is the best example of Violating an Apartment Lease ?

  • A.Tim has decided to move to another city, so he calls his landlord to tell him that he is not interested in renewing his lease when it expires next month.
  • B.Valerie recently lost her job and, for the last three months, has neglected to pay her landlord the monthly rent they agreed upon in writing when she moved into her apartment eight months ago.
  • C.Mark writes a letter to his landlord that lists numerous complaints about the apartment he has agreed to rent for two years.
  • D.Leslie thinks that her landlord is neglecting the building in which she rents an apartment. She calls her attorney to ask for advice.

Answer: B

The best example is Valerie, who has stopped paying the rent.

Violating a lease means doing something the signed lease forbids. Valerie agreed in writing to pay the monthly rent and has not paid it for three months, so she is in breach of the lease.

Tim only declines to renew, which is his right when the lease ends. Mark merely lists complaints, and Leslie only asks an attorney for advice. None of them breaks a term of the lease.
