Tell your jerk of a landlord that you changed your mind and will be staying. Then move out, but hold onto the apartment until the end of the lease. Do not allow that jerk to collect all your rent for the two months while at the same time renting it out to someone else (double dipping). Hold onto the apartment until the end of the lease if this is the best he can do for you!

damn stingy apartment managers!! See if you can find a buddy to take over the lease. That's the only way I can see to get out of the debt.
I think that when someone turns a bill over to collections, you can make small payments on it. As long as you send them something every month, I don't think they can do anything about it.
I agree with the earlier responder who said that if you're paying for those two months, I wouldn't give over the keys until your lease is up.

If you have to still pay I wouldn't give up the keys untill contract is up
