We are breaking our lease one month early as we are moving into our own home.
I know that I am responsible for rent until either a new tenant is found or the current lease expires.
I have been informed by the agent that they will be advertising the property at a higher rate than we are currently paying. And I haven't been informed that there will be any improvements made to the property. I believe it will be harder to get a tenant as the property will be over priced as the bathroom and kitchen are disgusting and only just usable.
I've read on the Tenancy Union website for Tasmania that:
"...reasonable steps should include offering the property for the same rent, and for the same conditions as the current lease."
Therefore I'd like to know due to this will I be in fact liable for rent beyond my stated date of departure from the property?
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks
