You have to pay what ever leased break fees are stated in your lease. If there is none stated then you can be charged rent through the end of the lease or until it is re-rented.

EDIT: Subletting is typically illegal. You cannot sublet without the landlord's approval & most landlrds will not approve it.

You do what the lease says. There is no easy way out. You are liable for the terms of the lease until a new tenant is in place on the same terms.

You could try to sublet the place. That means that you find someone to live there and pay rent until the lease is up but you are still responsible for the rent and the suite until the lease is up.

No. The only way to break your lease is outlined in your lease. Did the landlord raise your rent every month, of course not, you have a lease

READ the lease, carefully.

You can always break a lease, break your word, but it will cost you. You will lose your security deposit and maybe some rent besides.

TALK to LL. Agree to work with LL on re-letting, showing, finding new tenants. See what can be worked out. Give LL 60 days notice.

I had to move due to a job transfer.

I made an appointment with the landlady.

Told her my problem.

We met, we agreed that if I could find a new tenant - I would be off the hook.

I agreed to pay for the advertising $100, I cleaned the rugs, and maintained the place in pristine condition.

I was respoinsible for taking calls at my work to make appointments to have people see the apt.

I had to take time off from work to show the apartment.

I found a tenant that could move in 2 weeks

I got my stuff out - paid the remaining of my two weeks and was out of the lease.

You must be professional.

She knew that I could do the job of being responsible for showing and selling the place.

I believe I lost a one months deposit - not a big deal.
