I can't afford my apartment anymore, how do I get out of my lease and find a new place?

I've had a lot of health problems that have completely messed up my finances so I need to move to a cheaper place. I still have 6 months left on my lease, though. How can I get out of my lease without being evicted?

Find someone that would qualify to live there, using a site like craigslist. Go through the steps to add them as a roommate. Then, go through the steps to remove yourself. Depending on your contract, this may be the only leagal way you can get out of the lease without any fees.

Talk to the landlord. Maybe something can be worked out. You may be able to find someone to take over the lease. When I was looking for a temporary place to live, I found an ad in the newspaper by someone who was looking for someone to takeover the last 3 months of the lease.
