How can you get out of a lease if you need to move away due to economic difficulties?

If your home (apartment or a house) is rentable quickly then you may be lucky enough if you talk to the landlord and express your problems. Be sure your rent is paid to date and that you give the landlord a month to find other tenants. Most landlords are pretty reasonable as long as they know they can find other renters which I am sure they can. Be sure you leave your premises in the shape you found it or you could be finding yourself not getting your damage deposit back. If the landlord is satisfied with the way you have kept things repaired or cleaned then you are due your damage deposit back.
