Well you have agreed to rent it for the 6 months and would be liable for the rent for that period. But why not have a word with your landlord, I usually allow tenants to leave early as long as replacement tenants are found.

Speak to your landlord. If your landlord agrees you can leave early, then you will only be charged for:
- the time between now and when the new tenant moves in
- any costs the landlord has accumulated because you are leaving early (e.g. advertising, or another Finder's Fee with an agent)

Legally, you signed for 6 months so you are responsible for paying the full 6 months' rent. So speak to your landlord and get the OK to leave earlier.
