You are a college student and plan to attend classes for nine months. You sign a twelve-month lease for an apartment. Answer fully each of the following questions:
1. You have a summer job in another town and wish to assign the balance of your lease (three months) to a fellow student who will be attending summer school. Can you do so? (See The Landlord-Tenant Relationship.)
2. You are graduating in May. The lease will have three months remaining. Can you terminate the lease without liability by giving a thirty-day notice to the landlord?
