Often, if you're honest with your landlord and offer to help him/her find a new renter, you can be let out of your lease with no penalties. Remember: you'll get a lot further working with your landlord than working against him.

Most of the time, the people who own the property do so as an investment. If you can appeal to the businessman in them, I'm sure there is negotiation room. For example, find a suitable replacement and offer to pay a 1 month penalty. This is a sweet deal for an investor.
Or, if your lease allows, you can always sublet the apartment (you rent the apartment to someone else for the remainder of your lease), however, there are other risks there as you will be responsible for any damage they cause, essentially, you become a "landlord". You'll want to get them to sign a lease, collect security deposit, collect rent, and handle any communication between the subletters and your landlord, such as repairs.

In australia we can break a lease by advertising the place at our own expense and referring interested people to the real estate that manages our property, if they can find someone suitable to take over the lease we can then leave the place. Unsure of other countries. sorry didnt know where you were from. good luck.

No. Not if there aren't any exceptions in your agreement. If you break your lease, the landlord can sue you for the remainder of the lease (Monthly rent x the remaining months on your lease = the amount he can sue you for)

It depends on what your lease says. It also depends on the laws in your town. There is usually a sub-let paragraph. There also may be a buy-out clause. Talk to your landlord, that is the best place to start.

post on craigslist.org for your city. Tell your landlord and find a suitable replacement tenant. Look for flaws or places where your landlord did not follow through, you may be able to break lease there.

Read the fine print sometimes leases allow exceptions for work related moving and death of family members,etc.
