because my apartment lease is up in February but im ready to leave now and move into a better apartment because the managers at the apartment im at now dont do nothing for people and they are lazy and overcharge for apartments so i was just wondering how much it would cost to get out of a lease if u have just three more months left and i pay $623 a month.

Read your lease. If it doesn't specify, then you have it is an "understood" that you fulfill the contractual agreement. The agreement is money for services, but the ultimate is the money. Worst case you could be held to the entire term of the lease financially. So in english, rents til it expires....Somes states do not legally allow "double rents" so if you move out now, and someone moves in next week, you would only owe a week back to the landlord.
AGAIN, READ YOUR LEASE....

You may have to pay the rent up until the time your lease expires. However, if you have a valid reason to move IE: mold, disrepair, etc., you may be able to break the lease. You have to reference your contract. Some landlords are pretty nice and will let you out providing the place is left as it was found and no damage. Talk to them and try to work something out and leave on good terms. Emergencies can usually get you out of the lease obligation and private landlords are usually willing to work with you as opposed to a large property management company.

Your lease agreement will answer this question. If you don't have it, request a copy from the management office.
Our policy, We MUST receive your 30-day notice in writing. Rent MUST be paid through those 30 days. In addition to the rent, you must pay an early termination fee of 1.5 times the monthly rent.
I would honestly just wait until February or talk to someone in the office and find out what they can do for you. You never know.

Read the terms of your lease - you should have a copy. If you don't, ask your landlord for a copy. Ususally, you will have to pay full rent until 1) the apartment is re-rented or 2) the term of your lease expires.

It depends on what you signed and what state you live in. I would say, worst case scenario you owe $623 * 3
