Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, tenants can break a lease early, but penalties may apply. The exact costs depend on the lease terms and the rules of New South Wales.

Penalties may be calculated using statutory rules (fixed weeks of rent) or variable recovery (actual costs incurred for re-letting, lost rent, and agent fees). Our calculator shows an estimate based on your lease dates and rent.

Yes, if you or the landlord find a replacement tenant quickly, your penalty may be reduced. Variable recovery jurisdictions calculate penalties based on actual losses, so re-renting early lowers your costs.
