    Hi Btulagan

    I see that this is the second post you have made, and the problems seem the same.

    You aid in your first post that you are new to real estate. I guess you mean to renting property.

    The answer to this and your previous post is that you need to read your rental lease. I know in NSW , and I assume other states, that there is a standard rental lease that must be used.

    Did you sign one? If you did not then you do not have a legally enforceable lease with the landlord and you can walk away at any time – no penalty.

    But you said that you are engaged with a real estate agent. Then I assume you have a lease in place.

    I regards to parking in your previous post, the lease will specify what parking you are entitled to. If there is no mention of a parking permit in the lease, then the landlord/agent is required to provide one for you.

    When you rent a property you are assumed to have made all inspections and enquiries at the time of inspection, and the lease stes out what you are getting (ie if there was dirty paint in a room and you saw it and then rented the property, then you can’t go back and ask for the room to be repainted. You leased the property “as is”.

    In respect of this post, the lease you signed will contain the penalties you pay for breaking a lease early. provided you pay these break fees, then your name will not go on a bad tenant list.

    If you choose to break one of the lease conditions (ie not pay your rent) then most certainly your name will be placed on a bad tenant list.

    If this place is as bad as you make it out to be, let the agent know that you want to get out. Pay the break fee and find another place.

    For people new to the rental market it can be a confusing place to be.

    Good luck with finding a new place
