Big time agree with that statement.
I really don't know how to tell you to get out of it. You agreed to that provision when you signed the lease. Yeah, it's steep, but it keeps people from breaking their lease. And you guys signed on the dotted line.
Your lease should also talk about whether or not you may sublet, so read through it very carefully, even before calling the office again.
Some places, when you move it, have an option to pay a bit more each month for the ability to break your lease and not lose as much money. A lot of people who are building homes, or have a job that may require them to transfer, go for this option.
If it's really a big thing for you, pay a lawyer a couple hundred dollars to look at the lease and see what he or she says, and how the lease relates to your state's landlord tenant law.
