More details to this question:
My husband & I have been living at the same apt for 2.5 years in upstate NY. We've never had any problems with our landlord. I have school now and can't work as much which is causing us to not be able to afford the rent. Is there a way to cancel a lease early due to financial hardship?

The lease is a binding contract and your financial conditions are not a grounds for terminating the lease agreement, however, if you explain your situation to your landlord he may let you out of the lease on the condition that he can re-rent the apartment. Landlord's do not want tenants who can not pay the rent.
