If you have signed a lease for a year with the apartment, but then suppose midway through the lease (say 6-7 months since you move in), you are trying to sublease the apartment because you are moving out of state for a new job. You try hard, but are unable to find a person to take over your lease. You still have about a week before you move out for your new job, but still haven't found a person to sublease your apt. What would you do in this case?

I had a similar situation but instead of subletting the apartment, I asked my new employer to pay the penalty amount for breaking the lease. They did. So the landlord gets the penalty fee and can begin looking to lease the apartment immediately instead of waiting the 4 or 5 months until your lease would be up.

pay the fine for breaking the lease let the apartment find their own tennant so I don't have to worry if the sub will be paying the rent or tearing up the place

I would talk to the landlord and explain the situation to him/her and see what they say. Of course the time to do this would have been a while ago, not with 1 week left before you move.

Try to make a deal with the landlord....hopefully you could get out of your lease

Talk to the landlord and see if he/she will let you out of the lease.

I'd pay out the lease. I'd rather be legal and out of pocket than be worrying about it.

you will be responsible for paying the remaining months rents unless you happen to get a nice landlord who is willing to let you out of your contract. have you talked to him yet? he may not be willing to let you sublet the apt out. you can ask him if he will advertise the apt for rent and you will pay the rents until it is rented out. hopefully it will rent right away.

Try to make a deal with your landlord.
No matter what you do it's probably gonna cost a buck or two.
Move out early and trust him to re-rent as soon as possible.

most leases let you out of it,. if you move out of state for a job. check w/ your landlord, maybe he's cool w/ it?
