Most leases are written as annual contracts, with a total amount due, paid in monthly portions. So if you're paying $1,000 a month, your lease might say: "Rent from August 1 through July 31: $12,000, payable in monthly amounts of $1,000." So, if someone had that lease, and moved out 6 months early, they'd owe $6,000. And if the landlord wanted to get really difficult, remember that there are also late payment penalties. So you'd start off with $6,000. Then, after a certain date (often the 5th of the month), you'd owe a penalty for that month's rent...maybe another $100 or so. Those numbers can really mount up. Read your lease. See what your exposure is. Then discuss it with your landlord. Check your lease.

Say your rent was $1000 a month and you had 3 months left it could potentially cost you upwards of $3000+ your security deposit. That all depends on how lenient your land lord is. Check with them to see what they will allow.

I wasn't able to break the lease though. I had to pay until the lease was up but I'll still get my security deposit back. You have to check the lease and make sure it says that you can break it because mine said that I couldn't and I was screwed. I just did this a few months ago. I wasn’t able to break the lease though.
