<prompt> Human: When I move out, I will have two months remaining on my lease. I called the landlord and they said those months rent will be accelerated to my move-out date. I will also have to pay 85 of my monthly rent as an early termination fee. Couldnt I just leave the apartment empty for those two months and avoid the fee for breaking the lease? The lease agreement says I need to pay the fee because of their hardship in getting my apartment rented out, which makes no sense if Im paying my full lease anyway.Any tips appreciated, thanks.Edit: Turns out that the landlord didnt understand the lease terms. I read the contract and it says I only have to pay the fee if I dont give notice 60 days prior to the end of the contract.  <response>: Yes, dont break the lease and just move out. Pay the last 2 months as if you didnt move out. Call up your landlord again and tell him things have changed and you will be living in the apartment until the lease ends.
