Are there laws in place in Georgia to govern breaking an apartment lease to purchase a house?
There are laws in every state regarding contracts. Unless you can prove a necessary reason to break the lease, such as the place is uninhabital, you are in breach of the terms of the contract. Your landlord may work with you, seeing as you’re trying to purchase a house, but he doesn’t have to. He is entitled to keep any deposit and can sue for the months he couldn’t rent the apartment but should have been receiving rent from you. Good luck.
