Also, I wanted to clear up the issue of the type of management here.
It isn't a traditional building with 6-8 units, and a landlord who also owns the place.
I live in a large apartment community with 3 large separate buildings, and each large building probably has 25+ units in them.
The property management company that runs them, also runs a dozen or so other large apartment communities in this state, and they also run a similar amount of apartment communities in several other states as well.
The management staff that I'm dealing with, are employees of a corporation, not the owners, or not an individual landlord. The flexibility to break my lease might require a special amount of hurtles as a result. That is why I've been very formal with my documentation, writing, etc.
I see...ok that makes a difference. I have a friend that lives in an apartment building here in Manhattan...whose management owns many buildings in NYC...similar to your situation. She told me that this particular management company has no problem with people breaking their leases, doesn't even charge a penalty. So you might get lucky, never know.

wow, you live in a professionally managed place and they tolerate such a person?
Do they have a bad reputation for being a lousy landlord, like on Yelp or something?
Nope. I proposed to break my lease with a 30 days notice, and they obliged, seemingly reluctantly. But maybe they wanted me to go as bad as I wanted to go at this point. That's 100% fine by me.
Since the day I moved in, it has been one issue after another anyway.

with or without an early termination fee? They can't deny you breaking your lease, but they can deny you doing it scot free.
Glad it worked for you in the end.
