I am 19f and I’ve been raised in an abusive household. I can’t go into details but I’ve had enough with it and am planning on leaving and getting a place with my bf(18m).

The big problem is my bf currently has a 12 month lease that he can’t leave from without finding a sublet or relet. It’s in the middle of the semester and there’s no waitlist so the chances of someone wanting the place is slim and could take much longer to find.

We have seen another place that we love and could possibly move in next week, but if we can’t break the lease he can’t leave. My big worry as well is that my parent hates my bf and if I leave they’ll know he had something to do with it. I’m not just worried for my safety, but also his since they know where his dorm is.

Could we use this threat as a reason to break his lease?
