"If you have signed a lease for a specific period (such as your first year,) and you want to terminate it before the its official (legal) end, you *may wish to pay* a reasonable fee if requested by the landlord to gain their cooperation" 我的理解是，比如说我的合同是1年的，如果不满1年要提前搬走，我得支付房东提出的reasonable fee(e.g. $100).
