Here's some info for you in regards to subletting. Basically the landlord wants their money. It doesn't matter who gives them the rent, they want that money. They also don't pay the deposit. Personally for records, I recommend you paying the rent and having the subletter pay you. That is how most kids do it at my school in Chicago when we leave over the summer.

In regards to breaking the lease, I am not so sure. Perhaps you can find someone to actually take over your lease and sign on it. I have heard of that. Also, it might be possible that there are health clauses that allow you to get out of housing contracts. I know there are for cell phone contracts (which are hardly similar).
