I work in a rental office and we have this happen quite a bit. Carefully read your lease. Technically, unless it states in your lease otherwise, you are responsible for the total amount of rent until your lease expires.
Generally what we will do, depending on the situation, is allow the tenant to find someone to take over the lease. That person would have to come in and complete all paperwork such as an application.
Rarely has it ever happened where the tenant talked to the landlord and he/she just let them out of it. BUT, it has happened. Sit down and discuss this with your landlord, face to face. It's always best to have any information put in writting.
ANd never ever just up and leave the rental. Not only will it effect your credit but you can be sued for the amount owed.

A Lease agreement is usually a contract of law that lasts for a predefined period of time. You could be held responsible for the total amount UNLESS there was a breach by either party. In other words, If you just want to move, you will have to pay the rest of the lease.

Be honest with him and have a talk with him. Also, be advised that if you signed a contract with him, he could take you to court and make you pay for the rest of the lease, even though someone else may have moved in. Most of the time, they're pretty good about it. Best of luck to you.

Yeah, pretty much read ur contract very carefully, before you decide to let your land lord know. telling the truth is always the way to go. if you have a good relationship with him or her i think it can be worked out, but if your not getting along then good luck girl. But if you want to lie your on your own:)

Most leases can be broken due to job relocation.
If needed, get an email buddy in another state who has a job to create a letter and fax it.

first read your lease!!!! then tell the landlord the TRUTH. Landlords deal with this all the time. Follow the provisions of the lease and everybody will be happy.

You don't have the money to pay the rent.
