I moved from my hometown to a college town last December. I got into a nice apartment but I found out that I am no longer going to be able to afford going to college at a large university. I also have had an injury to my shoulder that causes me problems in finding or keeping a new job. I have to move home with my mom and have surgery, but I still have 6 months left on my lease. My lease states that I am in an apartment that's cost is cut a little because of my student status, but seeing as how I am no longer going to be a student I have to notify them of this. What are the odds that they will let me out of the lease? I have a roommate but he is not a student, and so he doesn't really qualify to stay in the specified apartment. Any ideas or suggestions?

I read my lease when I signed it but when moving to go to college you don't think that it's not going to work out. My roommate and I have thought about subletting but I don't want to sublet illegally and be left in a bind because I'd still be libel for rent if they hadn't legally taken over my lease. Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

My roommate is also on the lease. Best case scenario would be them letting me out of the lease so that would could find someone to take over my half of it. He's planning on staying.

Talk to your landlord and tell him that you are leaving school due to disability and that you will have an operation. Perhaps he will let you out of the lease if you offer to pay for advertising so he can rent the apartment to someone else, without a loss of his rental income. Especially now, in April, there are probably other students looking for housing for the summer and fall semesters. Ask him what it would take for you to be released from the contract. Is your roommate also on the lease? Is your roommate planning on staying in the apartment? Your scenario is incomplete, so it is hard to get the full picture.

Read your lease to see what you need to do to terminate your lease early, if you are allowed to do so at all.
If your college town is anything like where I went to college, there is always a waiting list of people who want to move out of the dorms or their parent's house. If this is the case, it may be a lot easier to get out of the lease. If you can find someone to take over your lease, either by subletting or them signing a new lease so the landlord doesn't lose any rent, that wouldn't hurt either.

Most leases have an out if you are moving more than so many miles. Usually it needs to be for armed forces or job tho'. If they are reasonable. . .and understanding. . .they may work with you. You can't help it if you are injured. Perhaps your roommate can find another to replace you and then, perhaps the landlord will be more generous. When you sign a lease, you have the right to barter over the contract. It's most important not to get trapped into an unforgiving lease. Lots of Luck. . .
