What can and can't a landlord do when you simply ask about his policies related to breaking a lease? There is the posibility that I may have to break a lease, only a month or so into it. I want to find out the landlord's position without having him try and drive me out at the same time. Hopefully he will be levelheaded enough to try and work with me, since i have a pristine 3 year record with him. I also do not want to be nieve and think that he won't take advantage of this information. How should I approach this?
