Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Colorado

Sorry for your problems. You should first review the lease to see what the terms for assignment, sublet and termination are. Then contact the landlord as soon as possible and advise them about your situation. You may want to offer to look for a new tenant and otherwise assist in getting someone for the place and see if you can come to an early termination agreement. If this is possible, I would recommend that you get the agreement in writing.

If you cannot come to a mutual agreement, then you may have no choice but leave for a more affordable rental. The landlord is obligated to mitigate their damages, which means that they must try to get a new tenant. Good luck.
