You will only be able to revise and go to a month to month situation if the landlord agrees given that you did sign a contract. However you might be able to negotiate directly with the landlord (not go through the manager). You need to think of some advantage you might offer the landlord to incentivize him to let you out of your contract. You might consider offering a little more rent in exchange, or something else that would entice him. Make sure that if he/she does agree, that you get all the details of the arrangement in writing with his or his agent's signature.
