Lease Termination & Breaking a Lease

Breaking a Lease Without Legal Help Could Cost You Thousands

Protect Your Rights with the Law Office of Bryan Fagan

Leases are meant to provide stability. But life doesn’t always go according to plan.

  • Maybe you need to relocate for work or family.
  • Maybe your landlord refuses to maintain the property.
  • Maybe you’re stuck in an unsafe or unlivable rental.

Whatever the reason, ending a lease early in Texas is complicated—and making the wrong move could mean lost deposits, extra rent, or even a lawsuit.

The Law Office of Bryan Faganis here to guide tenants and landlords through lease termination disputes and protect your rights under Texas law.

What Texas Law Says About Breaking a Lease

Under the Texas Property Code, tenants can sometimes legally end a lease early without penalty, including situations involving:
  • Unsafe or uninhabitable living conditions
  • Military deployment (under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act)
  • Family violence, sexual assault, or stalking
  • Landlord harassment or violations of tenant rights 

In other situations, tenants may still be responsible for rent until the landlord re-rents the property. Landlords, meanwhile, must follow strict rules before holding tenants financially responsible.

Trying to break a lease without legal help can be costly. Our attorneys can determine if you qualify for a legal termination—or help negotiate an exit that minimizes financial risk.
