I don't know that, you could try.

I could just try very hard to find new tenants. Renting is seasonal especially in your state, people will be start looking for a place after snow, winter time. Hire a realtor or friend to do the job if you left the city. But read lease agreement especially the part, default, early termination and sublease. Next time sign a lease with "buy out" option, equal to one month rent.
