Subleases
If the tenant terminates the rental agreement prior to its
expiration date, except for cause authorized by this chapter, the
landlord shall make a good faith effort to re-rent the tenant's dwelling
unit at a fair rental, which shall be the rent charged for comparable
dwelling units in the premises or in the same neighborhood. The landlord
shall accept a reasonable sublease proposed by the tenant without an
assessment of additional fees or charges.
If the landlord succeeds in re-renting the dwelling unit
at a fair rental, the tenant shall be liable for the amount by which the
rent due from the date of premature termination to the termination of
the initial rental agreement exceeds the fair rental subsequently
received by the landlord from the date of premature termination to the
termination of the initial rental agreement.
If the landlord makes a good-faith effort to re-rent the
dwelling unit at a fair rental and is unsuccessful, the tenant shall be
liable for the rent due for the period of the rental agreement. The
tenant shall also be liable for the reasonable advertising costs
incurred by the landlord in seeking to re-rent the dwelling unit. |
