I just signed a one year contract with my house I live in now, but i desperately need to move out in a couple of months due to family issues. How can I move out either in a 6 month period or less and deal with the landlord? Please I really need help, thank you

Read your lease very carefully and there should be some terms that will allow you to break the lease with no consequences. There is usually a military clause and sometimes one if your job transfers you a certain distance. If you don't have a legit reason, you are at their mercy. Best to talk with management and beg. You will probably lose your deposit and may be charged reletting fees and/or worse. That's why you read a lease before you sign it. Leases can be amended if agreed to by both parties. Once a place has been cleaned up, painted, time and money spent and then you move in, it is only fair that you reimburse the owner for all the above because it all has to be done again. They should not be penalized because you cannot keep your word. Just tell them your plight and throw yourself on their mercy. I hope they like you. . .

They may let you off the lease if you talk to them. Most people are understanding. Is the apartment easy to rent? If it is and if you leave it in very clean condition, they may let you off early. Never assume though. If they agree, ask if you could please get it in writing. Cover your butt. Good luck.

Find someone to take over your lease. You can do this by subletting it out or having them take over your lease (i.e., taking your name off the lease and having theirs on it).
