Lease

Location: Georgia
Hi so I’m trying to get out of a lease (off campus student housing). I renewed my lease for $650 a couple months back and it starts August but now I want to move out. I saw that the same room I have is now being leased for $910, I’m planning to go to the leasing office and speak to someone about possibly mutually terminating my lease, even with a fee, that’s fine.

Anyway this is the part I actually need legal advice on. If that doesn’t work I was thinking of surrendering my room and moving out, I would still keep paying rent but also according to my lease I would need to pay a reletting fee. Would the reletting fee mean that management has to try to find someone to fill the empty room and to what extent are they held to that? They might be more willing to replace me because they could find someone who would pay more in rent. I guess I’m just wondering if there’s a case where I will pay the reletting fee and they’ll just never actually try to find someone?

There are only 15 rooms available in this specific apartment so I feel like I’m not in a bad spot? But again it’s a lease and I’m legally bound to it so I think I just want to feel like I’m in the clear.

I also posted my place for lease transfer on Facebook but I think a lot of people don’t like the idea of taking over someone’s lease so I’m weighing out all my options. I’m also not too stressed because in the case I move out I’ll be moving back home so I won’t pay rent.
