It's likely worth talking to your landlord as well. Ask for specifics about taking one person on the lease leaving and one staying. Penalties for breaking a lease are usually incurred because the landlord loses rental income. If one person is staying and paying the rent, there shouldn't be a penalty.

I submitted a question through the website to get more details for my state. What I want to know and asked on womenslaw.org is whether I can break my lease and absolve myself from having to find a sublet to take my place for the duration of the lease.
My husband cannot afford the full rent by himself, if I leave early. He would either have to get a roommate, or move out himself.
