Does your lease allow subletting? I know when I had to sublet (in Manitoba) in the lease it said the landlord had the right to refuse to sublet to somebody. Also keeping in mind that if your subletee bails, you might be responsible for the rent again.
If I break my lease I'll lose my $1800 damage deposit, will be liable for expenses until they find another renter. Seems silly to take this route.

In Alberta you have the right to sublet. They can reject the person though, if they don't reply in 14 business days, the person is automatically accepted. I'm not too worried about finding someone, as it's a perfect location for a professional. I'd rather not take this route either, but I guess I don't have a choice.
