Breaking lease on apartment early??

[tyaholmes]

I have 6 months left on a 1-year lease and I want to get out of it because my roomate has been stealing my stuff, wearing my clothes, and I think their may be drugs in his room. Is there anyway I can get out of the lease without paying anything or paying a minimal fee?

Q: Is there anyway I can get out of the lease without paying anything or paying a minimal fee?

A: Yes; have the landlord give you a written release without requiring you to give him any dough.

i talked to the landlord and she said that he has to redo a lease to release me but he will not sign it

No, you can move out today but, you will still owe 6 months rent to the landlord.
