In New Jersey, you can terminate your lease early under certain conditions, such as mutual agreement with your landlord or if you have a legal reason, like domestic violence or unsafe living conditions. However, if you break the lease without a valid reason, you may still be responsible for paying rent until the end of the lease term or until a new tenant is found.
