Re: rental lease
That seems extremely unlikely. What you should do is inform the Lessor in writing that you’ll be turning over the unit (but paying rent in the meantime) within, say, two months. Generally, the courts will give a landlord a couple of months to find a replacement tenant. You probably won’t have to pay for the entire year term of the Lease.
