How does it work if you want to break a lease in order to move to another apartment? Will the new prospective landlord be able to see you are breaking the old lease and therefore not want to have you as a tenant?

FYI I would be sure to pay any lease breaking fees to my old landlord, just wondering how it works.

a lease is a contract and you can be held to pay the rent until a new tenant is found.the burdeon of finding a replacement can be your entire responsibility too.

that new tenant has to be approved by the landlord .

no the new landlord wont know nor does it matter to them.

A lease is a private agreement until such time one of the parties seeks relief in a court. If you can negotiate a settlement amicably with your current landlord then nothing is made public as mathjak says.

How would the new Landlord know if you don't tell him/her? If asked about your current lease, which I highly doubt the new Landlord will ask about, just tell them that it is up.

Before signing a new lease, I would ensure that your current Landlord either permits you to break the lease without you being held responsible for the remaining rent, whether because he's a nice guy or is able to rent your apartment to another tenant. In other words, don't get caught with paying for 2 places.
