If you want to move mid-lease you need to contact the leasing agent or the landlord immediately. Check with you tenancy agreement. What period of notice that you have to give? Might be one months, might be two months notice, but in actual fact in might be you signed for six months lease; your three months in and actually your abliged to pay the rest of the tenancy. In some cases landlords and leasing agent might be quite strict and may hold you to that. In other cases they might be kinder, they might for example a tenant who would already like to move in. In which case they may let you out of your obligations at no further cost or indeed they might put their property on the market. As soon as somebody comes in and is happy to rent maybe a couple of months later; you rent up until that point or pay up until that point and then they would let you out of the tenancy agreement. If you think at any stage that your leasing agent or landlord is being unfair go and talk to some advise go and talk to 'Shelter' and ask them if they can help you or go through your agreement with your solicitor to see if there is any reason why you might be allowed out in mid-term. Which might cause a breach in contract which might allow you to get out of you contract mid-lease.
