Possibly. The technical term you're looking for is an "assignee." Or, that you want an "assignment" to "assign" your lease to a different person or entity as Lessor. Many (if not most or all) leases require written permission from the Lessor to assign or sublet a lease. (Subletting is the act of someone else - a sub-lessee - paying you for use of the subleased property, then you pay the Lessor.) Generally, a Lessor is concerned about who would be receiving the assignment - is that person as credit worthy (or more) than you are as a Lessee? Many Lessors would much prefer to assign a Lease to a worthy party rather than having to go through the hassle of a default and/or repossession. On the other hand, many Lessors would rather want to lease the property again to someone they choose, rather than your choice. If it's "Assign or Default," though, and you have an assignee lined up, it sure doesn't hurt to ask.

Can a roommate leave and someone else take over on an apartment lease?

It depends if that person is named on the lease ie. a joint lease. If the roomate is the sole leasee then usually it is to the landlord discretion whether to lease to someone else. You have to inform the landlord of the change otherwise it is a breach of rental agreement. I would suspect that 99% of landlords are more than happy to have someone who lives in the property take over the lease, it saves a lot of time and money in finding a new tenant.

Is the Lease assignable and/or can you sublet it? If your Lease says you can, or if the Lessor will allow it, you could find someone else to take over the terms of the Lease without interruption (which is an "assignment" - you're assigning the lease terms to someone else.) "Subletting" means that someone else would stay there and pay your parents, and then your parents pay the Lessor. This, too, usually requires Lessor permission. Breaking a lease can have serious repercussions for credit (and possibly future housing.) Investigate all your options (including reading the lease yourself and/or having counsel go over it.)
