I'm renting a house with 2 other guys in a slummy college town. I got pulled in last minute in July/August because one of the original renters dropped out of school and decided to stay in his hometown. 

Rent for the house is a bit over $500/month including the utilities we pay for. The bills are pretty much all in my name. The lease is over at the end of July... but I'll be out of state June - August for an internship... and since the rent is way too high a subletter is out of the question. 
 
One of the guys, Joe, moved here and got a job, but just dumps his paycheck into rent. He also owes me about $300 from covering his rent for a month. The other guy, Paul, has his parents pay his share of the rent.

Recently, I haven't been living in my house (only been there maybe 5 times in the last month), I've been living at my girlfriend's house. Joe got a dog and the house smells terrible. My stuff goes missing or ends up broken. I'm out of a TV, it broke or something and they only told me when I showed up to the house for a few minutes to get some clothes.

So, then my girlfriend told me that I could just move the remaining bit of my stuff into her basement, break my lease, and just pay for a share of the utilities. 

I talked to my parents about it, and they want me to move out... my dad being rather angry about me lending money to Joe to pay his rent and him not fully paying it back. 

I can't bring myself to break the lease... I'll feel bad about Joe having to pay more, since he can barely afford it now. I know I have to get out of there, I can't afford to drop any more money into a house that I'm not living in. I'm not worried about a security deposit, I never paid one because the guy who dropped out never tried to get his deposit back. 

What should I do?

I'm on a lease for a house I'm renting with 2 other guys. I barely live in the house, due to an overwhelming dog smell/my stuff goes missing/breaks, and have an option of moving into a cheaper place. I can't find a subletter because my rent is one of the highest in the college town. Should I just break the lease and force the others to pay more, or dump about another

House with 2 people, one of whom is probably broke, is too expensive for me to live in, but I can't afford to pay it.
