All you can do is throw yourself on the mercy of the person you signed the contract with. They might release you from that, they might keep your deposit or they might try and play hardball and try to hold you to the complete lease. I would approach it with them in a manner where I wouldn't say what I was willing to do (i.e. don't say take my deposit). Tell them what happened and asked what are your options with them. If they come up with something unacceptable (i.e trying to hold you to the entire lease), then it is time to hire an attorney to make a call to them (this will usually resolve it). There is no telling how they will react as people vary in their compassion.
