The best option is to talk to the Apartment Management and try to keep penalties at a minimum. Another good option is to Sublease the apartment to another party, but you still may have to pay a small portion of the rent.

In order to get an apartment lease you need to go out and look for apartment. Once you have found one that you like and one that is in your price range you would sign a lease with the apartment complex.

This all depends on the laws of your state and the terms of the lease. The larger the apartment complex is, the likelier the landlord will have to pay for water, garbage, and sewer.
No. You are still under a contractual agreement to fulfill the terms of your lease, no matter who the manager may be. The lease is usually an agreement contract between yourself and the management company who owns the apartment complex, not between yourself and the individual manager.
If you move in with your boyfriend, by law you are supposed to add your name to the lease with the landlord. All persons age 18 and over are supposed to be added to the lease if they are permanent residents.
The lease is a contract. If it says the rent is X for one year, they are not free to increase it during that period. What you can afford has nothing to do with it. What matters is the law. Check if your city has rent control laws that limit the increases.
