The lease outlines the responsibilities of the landlord and the tenant. There is not a law that would allow a tenant to break a lease to buy a house. You are bound to the lease agreement you signed and should time your purchase of a home around your lease obligations to avoid paying the landlord for time you did not use the apartment.
