I have break lease, and landload is renovating whole apartment and force me to pay rent while not list my unit on market at same time in NJ.

Under the common law in New Jersey, a landlord must take reasonable steps to find a replacement tenant, regardless of why you broke the lease. The question is whether the "renovations" are reasonable under the circumstances.  Meaning if the rennovations were necessary "repairs", then a court would probably find the landlrod's actions to be reasonable.  But if the landlord is taking its time and making no efforts to list the property or to finish the repairs then a court might not find it to be reasonable. So this is a tough question.  The answer for you might be to have an attoreny reach out to the landlord to light a fire under it to get moving. -Russo Law LLC www.russolaw-llc.com
