New York does not let tenants walk away from a fixed-term lease without liability, but landlords must make reasonable efforts to re-rent the unit (mitigate damages). You remain responsible for rent until a new tenant is found, minus the new rent collected.
New York tenants in buildings with 4+ units generally have a right to sublet with landlord consent. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold consent, but must receive a formal request with tenant details.
