More details to this question:
I signed a six month lease on a condo and just received an out of the blue call from the owner (landlord) stating that he's having some financial issues and need me to break my lease and get a tenant in that he can charge double the amount. I have been at my condo since Dec 1st 2013 (only 3 months). He gives me the whole spill about there are other smaller units in the building he knows he may be able to get me into and how he likes me so much and hate to tell me this way. There is no way I want to move 3 months early of course. what should I do?

The lease is a binding legal contract. If you do not want to move out, tell the landlord that you plan to enforce the lease and stay in the unit.

His financial problems are not your concern. Tell him to honor the lease or you will sue for breach.
