It is recommended to confirm with the second lessor and the apartment party the procedures required to complete the sublease and ensure that you are no longer legally responsible for the previous contract. If it is a private sublease, students should pay more attention to:

2) If found, the apartment is likely to hold you responsible. Given the risks associated with private subletting, please negotiate with the tenant in advance to protect your interests.
