Forum / Move-Out & Eviction / Breaking A Lease Legally
I signed a year lease for an apartment in Tuscaloosa AL in October of 2015. I recieved a job offer the next month in Texas(November) and moved in (December). I have tried for the last three months to find a sub lease and 3 of the 7 people have been denied and the other 4 do not qualify based on the realty company requirements. I can not get an apartment in Texas because this lease is listed in my name and the realty company will not help me find someone to get me out the lease. I tried to pay out the lease but they are telling me that i have to pay out the entire lease agreement. I have stay in good standing and still paying the rent monthly. Is there anything that I can do to legally break this lease?

RE: Breaking A Lease Legally
The only way to really do this is to speak with the landlord and try to work with them for a exit plan. You can draw up a mutual termination of lease contract. This will help you both agree on terms and most landlords will want to work with you to help.
