I'd like to get out or my current lease

My wife and I signed a 1 year lease and have 8 months remaining. We have lived at our current residence for 16 months with the same landlord and have had a great relationship with them. We recently decided to purchase a home, but our landlord will not let us out of our lease without paying the remaining 8 months and forfeiting our security deposit. Do we have any chance of getting out of this?

Absolutly NOT**************.

The landlord is entitled to rent until he renrents the place, BUT he has to mitigate damages by advestisng and showing the apartment, at the last rental price.....

HE CANNOT RAISE THE RENT 50% and then 6 months later sue you because no one rented it at that price.

So the most you will lose is one months rent and maybe part of the secrity (damage) deposit.

It is ILLEGAL for any landlord to charge two tenants FULL rent for the same apartment

Now thats sounds better right?
