At the first apartment I lived in, I wasn't aware of that rule. They wouldn't let me break my lease because I didn't tell them within 30 days of it ending that I wouldn't want to renew. They forced me to pay a single month's rent (which is, of course, significantly higher than the month-to-month rent in a lease).

You could sublease the apartment to potentially avoid having to pay anything extra, but that requires you finding someone that wants an apartment to stay in for only 6 months. If you're a college student, it's usually not a hard thing to do.

Leases in many states also stipulate that you can't sublease it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
