Answer:
The terms of a residential lease agreement usually list circumstances and conditions under which a lease may be terminated early.
Typically, a tenant can not break a lease unless a landlord has breached terms of the lease agreement.
A tenant who wants to terminate early may consider trying to work out a deal with a landlord. Tenant could find someone to take over the lease and get approval from the landlord. If an agreement is reached, get it (a release) in writing.
