Read the Tenancy Agreement carefully. Often there is a "six month break" which means that either party can end the contract after six months, giving two months notice. You don't say how far into the Assured Shorthold Tenancy you are, but if it's nearly 4 months and the Agreement has a 6 month break, sorted.
If this doesn't apply, or you've got longer to go, simply approach your landlord, tell him/her your situation and see if they will agree to end the agreement sooner. Offering to find another tenant to move in (subject to references) might sway them. Think of it from the landlord's point of view: they got the flat clean, refurbished and ready for you, found a tenant (you) and now they have to start that process again, far earlier than expected. So anything you can do to ease that situation for them ought to help persuade them to release you from the Agreement. Good Luck

Usually negotiations with approval of both persons does the trick. However if you have a lease like an apartment lease and have signed on for a year, then you are responsible for the balance of the lease should you leave.
These days, at least here, they will increase your rent from the start if you feel you will be leaving for employment further than 50 miles away, or if you plan to go to a senior medical facility during the year of your lease, then you can leave early. Otherwise you have to give one month's notice of leaving and then the office takes your deposit. Every state has different things they put into a lease so read your contract or lease very carefully. You'll find your answer there.

Ask your landlord if you can break the lease subject to being able to find a replacement tenant.We did this and just paid the landlord his advertising fee.

Read the Contract - look under 'Penalty Clauses' - this will tell you the worse .. then go negotiate something better
