You'll need to review your rental agreement! I generally only do a month to month...however, I call for a 60 day notice not a 30 day...both ways...I can't do a kick out (except for non-payment of rent) without notifying in writing 60 days prior. Are the conditions bad? Something with the apartment that the Landlord could fix...or that would constitute making it uninhabitable? Is it the neighbor (s) or the neighborhood? If there is nothing that could be "fixed" to make it better, more acceptable and you are simply miserable, then what I would do is speak honestly to the landlord. Tell them you are miserable there and want to move. Ask if there is ANYTHING you can do to help facilitate them being able to rent out the place in a timely manner and then DO IT. Allow them to show it, keep it spotless, sing their praises to potential tenants..(justifiably so if they are willing to consider your current feelings!) If you have a one year lease or a 6-month lease, and can NOT prove that staying somehow relates to a sever hardship (as in you have just been transfered to another state in your job)...if they refuse to attempt to rent out the place at all...you are probably legally stuck! You can move out anytime you want to, but they may well be within their rights according to the written agreement to sue you for the entire amount you would have paid for the entire time you contracted to stay there. If that's it..then it's VERY likely they would win in court. FIRST and foremost...look up and call a Landlord/Tenant Hotline for your area/state...find out the specific laws for YOUR state/area...then speak nicely to them about what you would like to see happen...copping an anger attitude won't help you get what you want... Best of luck!

If you believe that the landlord rented to you under some sort false pretenses, you could protest to the landlord about it, and ask that he release you from the lease on those grounds. Maybe you could find someone on your own to take over the lease, but that would have to be subject to the landlord approval.

You have signed a contract that is legal binding. You have to honor the lease or you need to pay it out. You also must give a proper notice in doing this. An attoney will give you the correct legal ramifications of breaking your lease.
