An assignment is the transfer of a lease between the current tennant and a prospective tenant. A sublet is a lease held from a lessor who has a superior landlord.
It depends on what you mean by a lease: if a written lease is signed by both parties for a specific term, then the terms cannot be changed without mutual consent. Even if an oral lease any changes would have to be with your consent. If you do not consent to any change of the terms of the lease you can refuse to sign it and move out.
No.
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.)
It depends on the terms of the lease. The lease may terminate or the lease may "run with the land."
no
If the terms of the lease include that the tenant must have electric and the tenant is in violation of the lease terms you can evict him.
I'd suggest finding an easy lease with flexible terms which will serve you better in the big picture than differing between a long term or a short term lease. Leasing shouldn't be complicated and finding an easy lease (http://officewarehousespace.net/easy-lease-program/) where you can name the terms is the ticket.
You can always cancel any kind of lease agreement but there may be costs associated with cancellation of the contract. I would advise you to read your lease terms to see what the cancellation policy is and the terms of the policy if you have not already read them.
The owner can sell a house under a lease, but the buyer must either honor the terms of the lease or make an offer to get the tenant to break the lease.
In many cases, yes. You will have to look into the terms of your specific lease to be certain.
It depends on the terms of the lease that is in effect now. If you have a lease that does not allow for a sub-lease (or whatever you are trying to do), then yes, you will have to get the agreement of the landlord before sub-leasing.
