I have a sudden situation where I have to leave my apartment in Montreal in a week. What are my options? I am thinking to post ad online to sublet it, but I am afraid I wouldn't be able to find someone to sublet it to them in a week. I saw ads on Craigslist in Montreal that have been posted 19 days ago, which wasn't encouraging. What other options do I have in case this failed?
I am moving out in short notice, what can I do?

What do you mean break the lease? Would I be paying any penalties if they agreed to break it?
You have to ask the landlord as it depends what your agreement states. Does your lease agreement allow subletting?
May or may not be any penalties if your landlord agrees to break the lease. You have to explain your reason. Furthermore, some landlords rather want to get a new tenant by themselves.

Also, if you plan to sublet, make sure your lease allows subletting. Some don't.
They you are on the hook for the payments or need to come to an agreement with the landlord to end the lease early. See the link I provided above.
I believe this is the second time in recent weeks individuals have posted questions on what their responsibilities are when either signing a lease to rent their place to tenants or in this case being the tenant .
If you’re not aware of responsibilities when one signs a lease , you probably want to have had a lawyer go over it with you prior to signing .
It’s a legal document, with ramifications if broken
Hello,
I'm interested as I'm looking for something next week. Let me know what the apartment size is and how much is the rent, and how is it possible to contact you.
best
