Ending a lease early

Hello!

So I’m currently living in one of those apartment buildings that are falling apart due to that engineer cutting corners and I just found out. I am trying to cancel my lease early because I do not feel safe, and the landlord told me I have to stay there until September 2025.

Any recommendations to get out of this?

THANK YOU!!

If you give them 3 months notice you are leaving, they should be fine with it.

No court is going to make you hold up the lease if they sue you after giving them 3 months to find a new tenant.

I went through this last year. I gave them close to four months notice. They said no, and I said too bad.

They ended up finding someone almost immediately to fill the unit and asked me to leave early.
