We want to move but we don't want to be forced to be rent while we don't live here.

Most apartments will not just let you out of a lease. It varies from state to state on what guidelines have to be followed. Most will only let you out in two cases- a job transfer out of state (meaning your current employer relocates you not you finding a new job out of state) or closing on a house (you purchase a home and can provide all of the paper work).
Your best bet is to try talking with your landlords or the property managers. If your property has a waiting list you may be able to work out a deal. Be aware that even if you work out a deal in the future if another potentional landlord of yours calls them for a reference they have the right to say that you skipped out early on your lease.
Good luck!

That is why your landlord had you sign a lease so you don't quit paying rent until the lease is up. Talk to the landlord and if they feel like it they might let you out. If you give up the apartment they are to try to lease it again which lets you off after that but if it is a building why would they show that empty first when some is already paying that rent? Some might let you out if you are buying a house or something. Vacant apartments cost the landlord, they have advertising, painting, cleaning some offer incentives to new tenants, they don't want to lose money is why they do leases.

I got out of my lease, i told them i had to move out of the state. They gave me two choices, pay rent until the unit was rented out, or pay 1.5 months worth of rent.
