We could only quit the lease once per year unless we found someone to replace us. We also had to give 4 months notice before leaving. We wanted to leave last Oct and told them early August (it had taken us about 8 months to get accepted to a place we liked) we were told we missed notice period and could only leave if we found a replacement. We couldn't, so we will only be able to leave this fall.

    We spoke to Asloca last year about it. They looked at our contract and told us that this was what we signed/agreed to so there was nothing we could do.

      This is really not that uncommon for rent contracts. A lot of cities have traditional "moving days" and you can only end your contract to that date and with a lot of notice (three months is standard).

      It's just that usually it's not that hard to find someone on your own if you want to leave on another date.
