Bad news first. I don't think the exception you cited is correct. Unless it is specified in your lease, you are responsible for the monthly payments until the end of your lease. Forget about not paying and trying to negotiate later --- that was a very irresponsible suggestion as it can get you in more trouble than you can imagine. Just to name a few: (1) getting sued and need to pay legal fees for both sides, (2) credit ruined for 7 years, (3) mortgage bank recalls the house loan because your credit issue. Your ruin your credit, you ruin your life for 7 years unless you are super rich.
The good news is that your landlord has to mitigate the damage. Your landlord cannot sit there and just collect your check. Accordign to Sommer v. Krindel, which is a 1977 New Jersey Supremer Court (highest court in new Jersey) decision, your landlord MUST try to re-let your apartment to someone else. At the same time, you are responsible for the cost of reasonable expenses incurred by your landlord in attempting to re-let the apartment, which is generally not a lot of money and in most cases, landlords in NJ d onot bother to charge this.
Conclusion.
You cannot expect to get out of this without losing a penny. Afterall, you knew about the contract (you signed it) and decided to buy a house. The contract does not prevent you from buying a house, it just asks for your payment until the end of the lease. It can be said that you took a calculated risk in doing what you have done. I have a friend in NJ in exactly the same situation. He was able to get out of it after paying 3 weeks of rent because he (1) informed the landlord as soon as he knew that he was moving out for sure (he bought a house) and (2) the landlord re-let the apartment to someone else. The economy is good now. A lot of people are looking for renting and buying. Woodbridge is a convenient location so I think your chance of getting the apartment re-let is good.
