Breaking your rental lease in Gold Coast, QLD, can be a complex process, but understanding your rights and responsibilities can make it smoother. If you need to terminate your lease early, start by reviewing your lease agreement for specific clauses regarding early termination. Communicate with your landlord or property manager as soon as possible; they may be willing to negotiate. It's essential to provide written notice, typically 14 days, as required by law.
