A friend has gotten lucky by talking to the landlord and explaining the situation they were dealing with. They kindly allowed them to break the lease with no fee. Well, the only "fee" was leaving halfway through that month's rent. Their situation wasn't anything dangerous like domestic violence, but a sweet opportunity they got that involved relocating. The landlord was a sweet person and waived the fee as "new chapter in life fund".
Or maybe the landlord will agree because they already have someone lined up for a higher rent and it's worth it idk lol.
I don't know what kind of landlord you have, so your mileage may vary. Never hurts to ask when there is no penalty. The fee won't go up :)
I appreciate the input, but I think I'm just going to ride it out. It's greystar, which bought the building after I moved in but I am the idiot that renewed the lease after without finding out more about them. Big national company colluding with other big national companies and documentation of them telling their managers not to ever negotiate.

Corporations are the devil and they are buying up all the whole housing industry and we are all becoming victimized by it.
Damn. That's a tough spot. Good luck and hope you have a fairly smooth ride.
