Talk to your landlord and see if he’s flexible on your contract. Maybe if you help find someone to take over the lease, like by paying for the Buffalo News ad, he’ll let you out of it. But basically you entered into a contract so the excuse of “my work is moving me” doesn’t matter. More than likely if you’ve paid on time and have been a good tenent the landlord isn’t going to let you out of the lease without a fight. It’s a real pain in the ass finding good tenents. ---

renting from a company they are probably going to want to keep your security deposit as a penalty for terminating. Its BS but they are gay like that. Where you planning on moving to? ---

[quote=“BuickGN”"] mabye tell them my work is moving me or something? [/quote] Then work pays for you to break. When my company moved me they paid for the two months and loss of security deposit to break the lease. This was outlined in the contract. As stated, your only shot is to hope that the landlord is cool with you and will at least use some KY for when he bends you over. Worst case scenario, expect to lose 2 months rent and deposit. ---

See if they’ll let you sign a month by month lease. Explain that things are your current job are really unstable and you may have to move. When faced with the choice of losing a good tenent who pays on time vs letting them go month to month a lot of landlords will choose the latter. ---
