Read your lease carefully. Are there things in your lease that your landlord said they would take care of but haven't? Is the house being maintained properly by the landlord? Are you moving move than 50 miles away for a job? Are you in the military and being deployed? If you just don't want to live there anymore for none of the reasons listed above then I suggest you speak to your landlord. Actively look for someone to take over your lease. By breaking your lease a landlord does have the right to hold you responsible for the remainder of the lease or until such a time that the house is re-rented which ever comes first. They also can hold any and all security deposits to off set the income loss that they will have when you break the lease. Make sure that you give the landlord 30 days notice. Good luck to you

Every time you receive a threat or vandalism of your property, you need to call the police and make a report. After several, this may allow you out of your lease, but not alway's. A sure way out is when there is something, not created by you of course, that causes your place of residence to become un-inhabitable ie: rat or roach infestation and after written proof to landlord to fix the problem refuses, this type of thing may release you. Other than that, you can at anytime physically vacate the property, but will probably otherwise be legally obligated for the rent until such time that the lease expires or it is re-rented. A landlord cannot take double rent on the place. Call your local housing authority or HUD office which is housing and urban development and ask them what the laws are pertaining not only to you situation but to your state. Good luck and don't give up!

Generally if someone else is willing to move in and take over the lease. Tell your landlord so they can advertise. If you have no valid reason for breaking the lease, he can come after you and sue you for the remainder.

Read your lease. It will contain the penalties required for breaking your lease. Typically you will forfeit any deposits, plus require you to pay up to two months rent while they market your unit. If they can't rent it out, then you could be on the hook for the remainder of the lease term.

1. Mutal landlord/tenant agrement to terminate.
2. Landlord approval to find sublessor.
That is assuming there are no "issues" You have to notify you landlord, in writing, of the problem. Give them time to fix, 14 days is standard unless emergency.
Then inform you landlord again in writing you deem the house unihabitable and your intent to move out. Then MOVE OUT. You might lose the deposit, and are finacially obligated for the months you remained in the house.

If you can get a housing inspector to certify that there are heath hazards and the property is not livable .
( and you have already requested , in writing , that the landlord correct a toxic mold , rodent or whatever problem )
