I agree that you should discuss your situation with the landlord and see what you can do to terminate your tenancy. More often than not, that involves giving the landlord your permission to market for replacement tenants and your assurance that you'll clear out when he finds qualified people to replace you.
The lease is a binding contract and there are potentially serious consequences, such as damage to your credit, for simply walking away from the obligation.
Treat the landlord right and chances are he'll do his best to minimize your cost and length of obligation for the lease.

Check the terms of your lease. It will spell out if you can break the lease and what is required in terms of money and notice to give. Many leases can be broken with 30 days notice. It will not be legal problems, just financial ones with the landlord.

Approach the landlord and be nice about it. Perhaps he/she will empathise with you. And if they're not, perhaps compromise and say that you'll take responsibility for finding suitable replacement tenants in return for cutting the lease short (so that the landlord doesn't suffer a break in income but you still get to leave).
