A particularly-wild form of LAN party which is held by disgruntled tenants attempting to induce their upstream provider to terminate a fixed-term DHCP lease before its expiry date. The usual targets are unscrupulous phone and cable operators who lock victims into one-sided multi-year contracts and refuse to let them leave, even as they unilaterally and repeatedly raise prices for inferior service. It's like the cockroach motel, where they check in but they don't check out.
The idea is to annoy providers just enough that they suddenly beg the tenant to leave or even seek to evict instead of holding them hostage to a fixed-term which is no longer useful to a client who needs to be able to leave without penalty after having taken a lucrative job in another city.

Likely apocryphal, the DHCP lease breaking party is a fusion of three intertwined concepts:
- A "lease breaking party" in residential tenancy is a party or gathering that disturbs other neighbouring tenants enough to induce a landlord to break the lease
- A "LAN party" is a wild gathering of video game geeks which degenerates into a "rainbow party" like orgy of video game players competing to see how far down the joystick each can leave their respective lip prints; these events are associated with widespreaad abuse of LAN party drugs and overclocking on highly-customised water-cooled gaming PC's.
- A "DHCP lease" is a feature of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol which attempts to hold an Internet Protocol address for a predefined "lease" time so that it may be assigned to the same device when it reconnects.
These wild LAN parties often end badly, with clients going from multi homed to homeless or being bumped off the network entirely. A particularly wild DHCP lease breaking party with extensive LAN party drug use is highly disruptive to tenants of neighbouring IP addresses. An orgy of video games, online porn and bacchanalia tends to degenerate into sloppy seconds bandwidth and conditions prone to spread computer virii, but the situation with most low-rent ISP's is so dismal that client PC's have few other viable options.
