It's really easy to get out of leases (as an individual). But your landlord probably doesn't want the place to go empty. If you've been a good tenant up until now (compained little, always paid your rent on time, kept the place clean), you can probably go to them and openly talk about the issue. They might be willing to agree to a reduced rent for a certain amount of time, and at the end of that time either you move out or it goes back up. Having a place empty for one month costs the landlord just as much as giving you a 20% rent reduction for five months.
