It depends on if you breached any terms of your lease. If you breached the lease, then the landlord has a right to be compensated for any damages. If you did not breach the lease, and there are no other extenuating circumstances, then the landlord will not be entitled to damages. If you have concerns about your situation, you should speak with a local consumer rights or landlord/tenant attorney to determine how to proceed.
