48west does not allow residents to “get out of their leases”, but 48west will allow residents to find someone to take over their lease agreements (subject to the usual qualification standards and approval by 48west management). It is the responsibility of the resident to find a replacement, and rent payments remain the responsibility of the resident until a suitable replacement is found.
