You need to look at the specific terms of your lease agreement. It usually has provisions which specifically address penalties for early termination. You may also be able to negotiate the issue with your landlord. Make sure you get any agreement signed and in writing. Ultimately, you may want to retain an attorney for this transaction depending on what is at stake.
Best of luck.

Unless your lease provides that you can terminate it at your option or if you purchase another home, you are bound by it.
