Is a material default on a lease bad?

Ok I am in a lease for an apartment for a year. The lease does not let me simply pay an early termination fee, I have to pay rent for the whole year weather I live here or not. Now I know not paying my rent will have a negative impact on my credit, but will a material default do the same? Basicially I want to get kicked our of my apartment for breaking the rules and thus terminate my lease. Will I have to pay the rent anyway (I dont think so)?

DO NOT TELL ME TO SUBLET. The complex has too many vacancies as it is so no one will sublet.
