Did not get H1B and have to leave the country. Already renewed apartment lease. Any idea how to get out of the lease without paying for a whole year of rent if I can’t find someone to move in?

From my experience I don’t think they will force you to pay the whole year. Three months maximum. And it’s always possible to find someone for sublease depending on how much discount you are willing to give. If you agree to pay for 1 or 2 months for the sublease person I am sure there are ppl want to take over the lease.

You may have already tried to talk to them and explain, but I was in a similar situation a couple of years back and they were understanding enough to let me out of the lease after 2 months without paying anything beyond that. I explained my situation and indicated I was happy to provide documentation to the same effect. Good luck!!

Yes, that’s true. To clarify, I was only 2 months into my lease and they let me move out without asking for any lease termination fees/ payments. So I didn’t pay for anything other than my stay. Their reasoning was that I wasn’t intentionally breaking my lease.
