<prompt> Human: Been living at a relatively expensive apartment for about a year, I renewed my lease back in July and have been here ever since. However, back in August, my job blindsided me with a layoff. I got a new job, but it barely allows me to pay off all my bills. . .I have like 60 a month for food and gas. Ive checked forum after forum, but it looks like Im just SOL. Do I have ANY way to get out of this lease?  <response>: Find a new tenant to finish out your lease term. Ive never heard of a landlord declining when presented with that option. They get a new tenant who can afford the place without having to find him, and they lose the liability of having a tenant that can no longer afford the place.
