You can get out of your lease 2 ways. 1st don't pay it for 2 months. before you stop paying the rent get a down payment and sign a lease on another apartment. Move into the other apartment. After 2 months the old landlord will have evicted you from the 1st apartment. You will lose in court for not showing up. The eviction by court means either you pay the missing month(s) rent OR you get evicted. It does not obligate you to pay the remainder of the lease.
this is not legally allowed, but just a threat that landlords use to scare you. If you are concerned about this get many doctors notes saying the apartment is making you sick and you cannot live there because it is slowily killing you.

The 2nd way you can do this is get a doctor note and hvae a lawyer send a letter to your landlord saying you are terminating your lease early because of health reasons related to your apartment, and yuo are giving them 2 months noticve and paying them the (standard) $200 fee for early terminatiton of a lease. You do not have to pay the rest of the lease.

Ypou seem to be unaware of teh fact that a landlord does not have to LET you out of the ease YOU decide when and where you will move. What do you think peoplke do if they get transferred by there highly paid job to another state, quit there job?? No they tell the landlord 2 months aheade of time that they are leaving and pay a designated fee, Usually $200.

And then there are all those apartments that are vacant because people just left because they were discussted with the service, or safety etc.

You actually have much more power then you realize.

Go and get another aprtment now before anyone knows about it, even if it ends up that for one month you pay rent on 2 apartments. Then JUST LEAVE>

You will feel greatly liberated and empowered.

Sincerely, with kind regards,

Been there
