They may try to but they are required to advertise it and try to re-let it in order to mitigate their damages. Disclaimer: It is impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive legal consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue. Consequently, this response does not constitute or establish an attorney-client relationship but is offered for general informational purposes only. Laws differ from state to state and each case turns on facts specific to the case and parties thereto, thus this answer does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied upon as anything more than a starting point or suggestion that the questioner seek professional assistance from a practitioner in your state or county/parish, practicing in your area of law.

You are required by law to pay for all the months included in the rental agreement you signed. If you move out early, the landlord is required to advertise and try to re-rent your apartment. This is called "mitigating their damages." If the landlord makes reasonable efforts to re-rent you apartment but can't, you will be required to pay for all of the remaining four months, plus their "unexpected" costs of trying to re-rent the unit. Your landlord can sue you to recover the amount you owe them. If your situations results in a lawsuit against you, I recommend finding an experienced attorney to guide you through your potential options and liabilities. Often times a landlord would rather work something out with a tenant rather than go through a legal recovery process or lawsuit. If you can, meet with and talk with your landlord to see what you can work out together - a settlement for both of you. You're not required to agree to anything, but it may be better than any legal alternative. Good luck.
