Is it possible for me to move out without being responsible for the remainder of the lease. I moved in only 3 months ago. I know of no one who will sublet it from me and the landlord doesn't seem too eager to rent it to someone else.

My wife is also pregnant and has problems with the stairs in the apartment. Can we legally break the lease with a doctor's note saying that the stairs are too hard on her?

If you move out before the end of the lease, you can be responsible for the remainder to the lease term.
However, the landlord must also make a reasonable attempt to re-rent the apartment. They cannot just leave it empty for the next 13 months and continue to collect the rent from you without and attempt to re-rent. This may mean that you will be reponsible for and extra month or two or however long it takes.
Your lease also probably has a no sublet clause. But, if you can find someone that would sign a new lease for the unit, this would get you out with owing anything.
Apartment complexes that charge a fixed fee or some number of months rent to get out of a lease are taking advantage of a renters lack of knowledge. Again, if the tenant just leaves the landlord must try to re-rent the unit to mitigate the financial damage.

Sorry, but the only way that you can break the lease (without your landlord's agreement) is if the landlord fails to keep it fit for human habitation.
The landlord is an innocent party to your wife's pregnancy (one would hope, anyway) and isn't obliged to let you out of the lease because of it.
My fellow landlord above me is dead on the mark so I won't repeat his information.

If you move out..you owe rent for the remainder months on your lease so if you only been there three months...he can legally charge you 13 months of rent to let you out of the apartment.

Why do you have to transfer out at age sixteen? Are you seeking to break your existence as early as you'll?? You are not able to find the money for the $680 a month for hire, plus the water invoice, electrical energy invoice, cellphone provider, cable, and different expenditures that a few residences cost for matters like trash disposal and grounds upkeep. Once you graduate prime institution, HOPEFULLY you're going to (no less than) attend a Community College, get an schooling in SOMETHING, and THEN transfer out whilst you get a well paying activity. Having not anything greater than a prime institution degree gets you not anything greater than a minimal-salary activity. I recognize, at your age all you desire to do is have amusing and get together along with your peers, however it wont final lengthy. You'll become suffering the leisure of your existence simply in view that you did not desire to supply a couple of extra years up for a bigger schooling. Even IF you have been competent to find the money for the condo and the entire different dwelling bills, have you ever suggestion approximately what you are going to do while making a decision you desire a automobile? I used to be sixteen as soon as too so I recognize what it is love to "realize it all", however as soon as I acquired out of prime institution, I went to Community College and acquired levels in two absolutely separate careers. I gave up slightly bit extra of my early life by way of going to tuition, however I'm having fun with maturity SOOOoooo a lot more now. I have on no account as soon as labored for minimal salary. Stay at residence correct now and benefit from the unfastened journey at the same time you legally can.

Find a way to make your landlord look crappy, then take him to court. The judge may release you from your lease if you can prove some sort of negligence on your landlords part. That's all I can come up with, sorry.
