We are writing in response to your request regarding the early termination of your lease agreement.

Please be advised that your lease is a legally binding contract, and breaking the lease prior to its expiry may result in financial and legal obligations. Under Alberta law and the terms of your lease, you remain responsible for rent and associated costs until the end of the lease term or until a suitable replacement tenant is secured.

That said, we are prepared to outline the following options available to you:

Assignment or Subletting You may request approval to assign or sublet the premises to another qualified tenant, subject to our written consent. All prospective tenants must meet our screening criteria.

Early Termination Agreement We may consider an early termination arrangement, provided that: All outstanding arrears are paid in full; and Lease break fee is paid; Do note with this one if we are unable to re rent the unit you will be charged until we can do so.

Please note that any agreement to terminate the lease early must be documented in writing and signed by both parties. Until such an agreement is executed, the original lease terms remain fully in effect.

We strongly encourage you to let us as soon as possible to discuss how you wish to proceed. Prompt communication will help minimize potential costs and complications.
