Go through the same qualification process with the new tenant that you would any other tenant. Once you have qualified that tenant, get a deposit from him or her.

Once you have that deposit, agree in writing to terminate the first tenancy early. Operate just as if the lease had originally terminated on the newly specified date.

I doubt that doing anything other than this is legal, and even if it is it would provide you with very little additional protection.
