I heard this similar story before. And the chinese guy shared the same feeling with you. I don't know the result.

When I rent the appartment, they told me same condition and $200 fine. They also write down on the lease. So if same case, you need to help the landlord find the next tenant.

Why not sub-lease it? Support the rent is $1000/per, and you have 4 mo left in your lease. If you sublease it at 1000 - 1000/4 = 750, I bet you can rent it out immediately.

According to Ontario House Rental Tribunal, the landlord must agree with your sub-leasing, but how ever, they have the right to refuse the person you find. Check the link for details

If they admitted the lease is no longer in effect, then you are free now. If they think the lease is still in exist, you should ask for your money back.
