Breaking Lease

[Jason E.]

I have our single family home tenants sign a one year lease.  The lease states they are responsible for the amount owed if they leave before the end of the lease.  If a tenant breaks the lease because they are having to move for work or with some other good reason do you still hold the tenant to the lease agreement??? I know there are justifiable reasons by law to break a lease and as a landlord I have to try to get it filled asap when they leave.
