I have been relocated to another state. I have 7 months left on a lease on a Manhattan apartment. I rent from the owner in a condominium. I am told that the condo board does not permit sublets.
I have offered to find a new tenant who would sign a new lease, subject to owner and board approval process. When the new tenant signs a new lease I have asked the landlord to release me from my remaining obligations under my lease.
My landlord has not responded to this suggestion. He lives abroad.
What options, if any, do I have?
