Ive heard of some loop-holes to get out of a lease without being penalized. Does anyone know what these are or have any suggestions? All is appreciated.

depends on how you lease reads.

Read the lease. The loop holes involve someone doing something wrong or not doing something at all. If you cant get out of the lease, see if the rental co has something you and you friend can both agree on, then it may be possible to transfer within the company with very little fees involved and without breaking the lease.
All states have some different laws.

If there are any loopholes, they're written into your lease. Read it.
If you break the lease, you can be held liable for the balance of the lease or until the landlord gets a new tenant, whichever comes first. Some courts have ruled that 2 months is enough time for a landlord to replace a tenant, but local conditions can skew that either way.

I hope you haven't signed a lease for the house too.
The lease is a contract. If you want to get out of it, read it. Unless it gives you a way to end it, you are legally bound to abide by it until it expires. You can just up and leave, of course, but the landlord can sue for his money, and you could end up paying for an apartment that you aren't using.
If you want the best advice, consult a local attorney who deals with real estate. Chances are, his advice would cost you about as much as several months rent on the apartment.

It really depends on what the section of your lease says about breaking you lease early. Most of the time you can get out of the lease but it will cost you the usual terms are that you give a 30day written notice and pay 1months rent( ex: you move out in July but you still pay August rent) and you forfeit your deposit. The only guaranteed free way out of a lease is if you are military and get transfer orders or if you are buying a home and have a home purchase clause in your lease.

It does not sound as you possess any of those loopholes. The landlord must violate the lease contract in some fashion, or the premises must have a defect which he refuses to remedy and which makes the premises unsafe for you.
The fact that you and a friend decided to rent a house together is FAR from any sort of loophole. Your landlord is entitled to collect rents from you until the property is re-rented. He can also collect from you charges for cleaning the premises and returning them to the same condition in which you found them, plus costs of advertising and showing the property to find another tenant. If he decides to pursue legal action to that effect, chances are strong that you will lose.

they are in a position to sue you for something. The question is will they win? in the event that they take place in courtroom and can't produce a hire signed via you, it quite is going to be very very confusing to get any judgement of their desire till your testimony helps their case. It appears like they actually would desire to bypass after the different guy and that they had be till he paid a cancellation cost and is off the hook at this factor. you will desire to evaluate the prospect which you signed some style of place of work work that helps their declare, whether you probably did no longer understand what you have been signing. it quite is particularly helpful to call the place of work and tell them which you do no longer think of you signed a hire and ask them to confirm that they have got one (and get a replica). If there is not any signed place of work work, you may likely smash out with telling them to take a hike as long as you're keen to look in courtroom and make a great case for your self (say your settlement grew to become into with the different guy and you met all your responsibilities under it). you will desire to have a dismissal in 5 minutes. in actuality, the owner will purely approximately via no potential unquestionably report a suit if he has no place of work work (purely an empty possibility). He could be throwing his time and funds away.

there are no loop-holes read your lease to see if there is a fee for termination early, if not go to your landlord to see if they would considered a buy out clause, if they will not work with you it is a up hill battle,

read your lease - almost every lease addresses early termination and the fees and penalties involved.
