Is having the wrong address on lease grounds for breaking it without further charges?
We need to break a duplex lease in TX, the service has been good and none of the usual outs are available like military or services not being provided as offered. The best option we have (to my knowledge) is that the lease agreement we signed has the wrong address on it. We live at building 604 unit B and the lease is for building 602 unit B. Is this legal grounds for breaking contract without us being liable for more rent and/or fees?

The incorrect address is not a sufficient ground for breaking a lease. The lease can be amended to state the correct address.
