'don't know if this is on the books in NYC, but we have "lease assignment". A tenant can assign, or sign over, their lease to another person. The other person can only B refused on the basis of bad credit/credit check, so U would need credit references. People moving out 4 good prefer this over sublets because w/sublets the orig.tenant's still responsible. A sublet could not pay rent, etc. and U would B on the hook 4 it.

Yes, several.
First, even if you break your lease, the landlord must mitigate your damages. That means, the landlord must do everything possible to find another tenant as soon as possible. Given the current state of availability in NYC, I don't think you'll have much of an issue.
You can also find somebody to take over your lease. The landlord has no say as to who you find because "they must mitigate your damages".
Third, speak to your landlord. For the most part, they can increase the rent if you vacate. 30 days notice is usually all they will ask even if you have a lease.
Second,

Try calling your nearby workplace of the Department of Heath and ask them what the authorized restrict is for you, I'm assuming a companion due to the fact you mentioned "we" and a youngster is for an rental. I attempted discovering distinct legislation for NY. Some field's require a specific quantity of squareft according to character, others require that mothers and fathers have a bed room, and youngsters beyond the age of five have a bed room both on my own or with different kids of the equal gender (which would not aid you proper now). If you'll be able to discover a regulation that would not enable you to hold residing in which you're then the hire might be broke with little to no obstacle. On the opposite hand, might you simply be in a position to speak in your landlord approximately the truth that you're now pregnant? I particularly cannot see them having a obstacle with you breaking the hire due to the fact this is a one bed room. If you're low on coins and your landlord is not going to cooperate then you definately will have to take a look at contacting authorized help. They cost little to not anything to take your case founded to your earnings and will probably be in a position to aid you if there's a authorized rationale for relocating. Best of good fortune to you!

You can find someone to sub-let! Just make sure there is no clause which prohibits this in the lease. Most likely there is not! You can place ads up or put an ad in local paper! Sub-letting is basically finding someone to finish your lease! It is the easiest way to leave before you end date! This is easiest way to leave with no law suite! But if you must leave due to poor living conditions. You may be able to get out. All though you Will end up in court! Well good luck, hope this helps!

Nope. You are stuck with the lease -- and you'll pay dearly in NYC for breaking one without cause.
However, NYC has very liberal rules on subleasing so you shouldn't have any trouble at all in doing a sublet until your lease expires. The landlord cannot deny your sublet without due cause so if you find someone whose income and credit are similar to yours the landlord will have to authorize the sublet.
