      Hello,

      I left my apartment two weeks before end of my lease. I notified my agent well in advance and requested him to issue me lease break receipt. 

      My rent was deducted till the end of lease period. But my agent did not issue me a lease break receipt. Instead, he provided me a rental ledger.

      He stated that as per Australian Govt law, a lease is technically broken only if a suitable replacement tenant is found within the period. As in my case, no tenant was found between my vacating date and lease end date, the agent was unable to break the lease. Hence he was unable to provide any lease break receipt.

      Please let me know whether my agent is right.

      Does Australian Govt states that a Lease Break receipt is issued only when a tenant is found within the lease period?

      Thanks.

      N Roy
