The landlord has a duty to mitigate, or minimize, its damages. It must try to rent the property after you leave. If, however, it could only find someone willing to pay less than you pay, you would be liable for the difference. You would also be liable for the cost of finding a replacement for you, like fees for advertising, cleaning, marketing, real estate agent, etc. If the landlord could not find a replacement for you after using it best efforts, you would be liable for the 3 months? rent.

They can charge monthly rental fee until unit is rerented.
