We want to move. We want to move NOW! Some crime in the area (ACROSS THE ROAD) has got us sriously worried and we need to get out.

We've found a wonderful place that is available now.

We've been really good tenants, always been at least a week ahead on our rent, the owners and real estate have always said how lovely we keep our house and what good condition we keep it in.

So how hard do you think it'll be to get out of our lease? Has anyone been able to get out of the ongoing rent until the house is filled? It's not easy to fill a house in this area, sometimes they remain vacant for over a month despite lots of open-houses (we're in a rental-dense area).

Is there anything we could say? If you were our landlords would you let us out? Honestly? Without paying the rent until it is filled? Ugh, I need to get out, I am just so worried every day I go to work and leave Shel and Jazz in this area. I don't know if my stress levels will withstand 5 more months! I need a miracle.
