AU Australia property term
Break Lease
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
Ending a fixed-term residential tenancy before its agreed expiry date without relying on a separate statutory termination ground.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
The tenant may remain responsible for reasonable loss until a replacement tenant starts or the term ends, while the landlord must take reasonable steps to reduce the loss. Document advertising and reletting costs.
