Answers:

A-Best: The two contracts are not related at all, you can't break your lease. Most people commute further then that, although they drive faster then that.  

A: I know that with a gym memebership you can break the contract if you move beyond a 50 mile radius. You will need proof of new job location such as an acceptance letter on company letterhead. Talk to your landlord anyway. /  

A: Almost all Real Estate laws are state or local. But I am pretty sure I have never heard of any law that allows this. This would depend on your contract (lease) that you signed.  

A: Just drive it. When your lease is up then move. I drove 35 miles to work for 30 years. It was no big deal.  

A: No. Your new job is no reason to break your lease. And 35 miles is not that far.  

A: No. Read your lease.  

A: Unless your lease has a specific clause stating this, no. Usually the only exclusion they give for this is for members of the military. How much longer is your lease? If it's not that long, just drive the extra distance. I'm assuming that since you got a promotion you're probably making more money, so you should be able to afford the extra gas until then. If you've got a long time left in the lease, talk to your landlord. If you are current on rent and haven't ever caused any problem s/he may be willing to work with you. At any rate a 45-minute commute is not that big a deal. I live 30 miles away from my job and it takes me an hour each way to get to and from work. Plenty of people do it.  

A: No you are reliable for the reaming months of rents until your lease ends. You cannot end your lease because of a Job. Read the terms of your lease. Also contact your Property Manager.  

A: Not without whatever penalty the landlord decides is fair. That you now have to drive farther to get to work is no problem of the landlord. That's YOUR problem. Unless your lease contains some provision to this effect (HIGHLY doubtful that it does) you are bound to your lease for its duration.  

A: Unless your lease has a clause that states you can break it due to job relocation of 35 miles, you cannot legally break the lease. I don't know where you live, but 35 miles is not far at all - it's not really considered "relocation" until at least 50 miles. Either find a new job closer to your place or suck it up and drive the 35 miles each way until your current lease is up.
