I'm getting transferred but still in an apartment lease how do I get out?

Nicely ask your landlord to release you from your lease.

Don't wait till the last minute either, give him plenty of notice, like 60 days.

If he says no, then ask if you can sublet it until the lease is up.

If he says no to everything then you are screwed.

You signed a lease. Speak to your landlord. He may let you out of it with a penalty. But otherwise, you are legally obligated to pay the full term of the lease. Some exceptions may apply for military personnel.

If you Do come to an agreement w/landlord, get it in writing!

See if your company will help you out with the cost as part of a relocation package. Another option is to find someone to sub-let to for the remainder of your lease. Lastly, talk to the lease holder. If they can find a new tenant, they might let you out, though you might have to pay until the new tenant moves in.

Most lease companies will allow you out of the lease with little or no penalty due to circumstances beyond your control. Talk with the lease company and find out what your options are. Good luck!

What state do you live in? Some states have a phone number listed in the blue pages for tenants rights. I dealt with them in CT & TX both times with great success getting my questions answered. They would be able to tell you if you have any right to get out of your lease. It's like calling a lawyer who knows what they are talking about but you don't get charged.
