How hard is it to cancel a housing contract?

<p>Out of panic last spring, I signed up for a housing contract in foothill this fall. However, there is a great open apartment that I would like to sign a lease for, but that would require me to appeal to cancel my housing contract. I would do so on financial reasons, because being out-of-state is so expensive. Do i need to find a replacement? Is it too late for me to cancel my housing contract?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>
