Sounds like you are stuck unless you can work something out with the LL. Offer to pay for his advertising if he will try and find a new tenant? Also assure him you will have the place absolutely spotless so that he doesn't have to lift a finger when you move out and the new guy moves in. (spotless as in just that...carpets shampooed, windows washed, yard and everything cleaned up)
