For those of you who missed BrickUnderground's NYC-style guide to breaking a lease, we direct you to today's NY1 real estate report with Jill Urban, featuring BrickUnderground's very own founder Teri Rogers and real estate lawyer Steven Wagner.  Major takeaways: No matter what your lease says, you have the right to find a qualified tenant to replace you.
