Talk to the landlord about it. If he/she does let you out, take a copy of your lease to a lawyer and see what ';loopholes'; there may be in it.How can I break the appartment rental lease legally.?
The lease contract you signed will outline what you are required to do, as well as what the landlord is required to do.





Typically, if you leave the lease early, the landlord could come after you for rent until either the end of the agreement or until the landlord rents it again. First time home owners are not exempt from contract law.





If the landlord is supplying all the legal requirements for the lease, there is not much you can do. Perhaps if you have a good relationship with him, you can come to some deal?
How can we guess what clauses are in your lease?





My father is a RE broker in NJ, I bet if I ask him, he will laugh.





If you have no other way out of the lease based on its terms, then you could simply pay the rent through August in advance, or whatever minimum the local laws proscribe. E.g. here in CA, the landlord is required to make a good faith effort to re-rent the place, and you would only pay until the place is re-rented or the end of the lease, whichever comes first.





Or you can ask the landlord if you are allowed to sublet, if so,then you can find someone yourself, but if you can't you are still reponsible for the rent each month.
I have heard this too, you can break the lease if you are buying a house. I would contact your landlord, and see what they would prefer you to do, and I would highly suggest you get a person who will sublet the unit until August asap.
you can't. even if you manage to get evicted they can and probably will sue you for the remaining months of your lease.





i would ask your landlord if you are allowed to sublet
How about talking to your landlord first?
