Breaking a rental agreement can result in losing the security deposit and being liable for damages until the lease ends. Furthermore, landlords may pursue legal action for unpaid rent, but the renter will not face arrest for breaking the contract. Options like being forced to stay or never renting again are not typically valid consequences.
