Talk to your landlord.
I have several properties with dozens of tenants. Some of these units are rented well below market to honor the ongoing relationship with a tenant. If they wanted out, I would have no problem with this. On the other end of the spectrum, I would give up any problem tenants in a heartbeat.
If you approach your landlord in a respectful manner soliciting his/her advice in this situation, they should be willing to work with your - especially if you have a replacement already to take your place.

Well the intention of the lease is that you not. So ... it kind of depends on the goodwillof the lessor. They might let you out early with say an extra monthly payment, or let you sub-let, or they may not let you out at all. If they did not deliver some part of THEIR end, such as keeping the place habitable, then perhaps you could sue THEM for breach of lease, but other than that ... a lease means you guarantee to stay for the term of the lease.

Leasing professional of 5 years. Most properties i worked for did not allow for leaving early. Mgmt needs to know which of their apts, are occupied and for how long. This generates profit for the owner, and also equity in the property. According to someones' lease they signed and agreed to, my office allowed someone to leave their apartment with provisions: cleaned and undamaged apartment, lease paid to the move-out date in advance of moving, and a penalty, also giving up rights to your security deposit.

It's not jail; nobody HAS to stay. It just could cost big if you don't. Talk to your landlord maybe you can sublet for a few months. Be careful of that because if the subletor doesn't pay you will be required to.

The contract doubtless has a penalty clause, you just pay the penalty and you are free to go!
(A 'cheaper' option might be to find a well-qualified replacement tenant, and present them to your landlord, explaining that you have to leave because of "reasons beyond your control", and pleading for mercy!)

it depends on why you want to leave.
