Early Termination Of Lease

[Patrick Pfohl]

Situation...I'm a tenant. My lease was up in 4/31, but my fiancee was looking for a new job(Teacher) Our relationship has been good with the landlord over the 2 1/2 years here. I help with things, the elderly tenants groceries and sometimes fix minor things. She extended a short term lease through 7/31 so fiance could look for new teaching job. In mid June, prospects weren't looking good for job, so we signed a new one year lease starting on 8/1/13 as we didn't want to have fiance get job in early July and we up and leave her with an empty apartment. Well fiance just got new job 30 miles away and we want to move. Have suggested that we would leave at the end of Sept. This gives plenty of time to find some one and it's a popular lease date. So, since the lease hasn't even started(8/1 start date) am I still stuck? Again, I'm trying to work with the landlord but she is saying we signed the lease. HELP!
