Soz - but I don’t think that’s true.
A business lease is legally a different animal to a private residential agreement: which actually isn’t even a lease legally I believe, as it’s a personal rental agreement.
In the case of private short term renatl agreement, you need to look at what the terms of that written agreement say, because that’s what you and the landlord both signed, and both are bound to for the stated term of the agreement.
Tha’s not to say that you can’t break your side of the legal bargain that you made…..eg just do a moonlight flit and accept that you’ll never see any of your deposit back.
But a private accommodation short-term rental agreement is, so far as I’m aware, not transferrable to another rentee, as it is a form of personal contract.
You could maybe try the informal appraoch and talk to the landlord if your relationship is good, and see if there is some compromise that he’d accept???
Maybe you try to find another tenant who’d be prepared to agree a new rental contract with the landlord, and in exchange he releases you early from the obligations you agreed to under yours?
