If you're that concerned and have a friend who is an attorney, buy them a beer and ask them, otherwise, consider the law

The person will probably have to qualify before taking over.
Best bet is to let him know

Thanks. Looking for advice/tips from someone who's done it before. Or if you're a landlord how would you want a tenant to approach you.
:facepalm:
Do you not have social skills? Read your lease, if it says 'no subleasing', come up with a plan that doesn't involve your landlord losing income, and approach him about it. Do it in person if you know the guy and have talked to him before. The worst he can do is tell you to frick off, but if you already have a solution in place, he'd probably accommodate you in some way

How do I bring this up to the landlord without getting a ton of pushback.
I've owned many rentals. I'd be shocked if it's not in your lease somewhere indicating the ability to sublease or not. Personally, mine always had a clause against subleasing. As a landlord, you've made the commitment and signed the deal with me. I don't have the desire or time to run background checks on new tenants. Also, as a landlord, you want to stick to your leases as written. Any wavering from the written lease opens yourself up to additional issues. Having roommates actually makes the whole subleasing situation worse.
With that said, I was never a fan of having roommates either. However, Jan 2018 is not that far off....5 months. Not sure it's worth whatever costs she may charge you to break the lease (which is what you're wanting her to do for you.) She could possibly want your remaining rent portion paid fully and keep your deposit or one month's rent plus the loss of your deposit. Yep, it's that rough. You have to be willing to pony up to have a landlord allow the breaking of a lease.
Because you have roommates, I wouldn't do it for you....sorry. The landlord would be setting themselves up for this issue to arise every time one roommate gets mad at another and wants out.

How extensive was the process when you moved in, for example, credit/background checks or just a meetup, sign and handshake? That's probably a good indicator of how it will go, but obviously not 100% accurate.

Thanks for the input. For the record I live in VA not LA. Landlord is a she, and she's a licensed real estate agent. We didn't do a credit check, I just had to log into my credit karma account and show her that I'm good.

Sounds like you're gonna have to sign up for the marines to get out of this pickle. Good luck

OK...she's an idiot. You may be good to go.

Wouldn't be opposed. Not sure I'm built for a desk job.

That's kinda odd, but also accommodating. Shows some level of concern though.
Any idea if your potential replacement has decent/good credit and would be willing to do the Credit Karma check?

Are you on the lease? I assume you are but if you are not, just find someone else.
If you are, I assume your landlord is not so smitten with you that he is unwilling to take someone else's money so long as they are as tenant worthy as you.
Unfortunately, you may be on the hook for your portion of the rent if the sub does not meet his obligation.
