Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
If the lease provides that you have to pay November rent, you do. You contracted to pay rent, and your landlord contracted to allow you to use the space, through 11/15. If you reach an agreement with the landlord to vacate early in exchange for not having to pay the last two weeks' rent, great, but otherwise the landlord is not obligated to terminate the contract just because you want to. You are obligated to pay what you agreed to in the lease contract.
