Can my landlord hold my lease and force me to pay the life of it?

So I was transferred due to work, in which I was leaving the apartment in which I was living and moved across the country. With this move I said that I would pro-rate my rent and she could keep my security deposit as my lease agreement just asks for 30 days notice. She claims she wants all of the month as I left on the 4th. First makes claims she will file and eviction notice as I said she can't file an eviction notice for someone who has left the property, then she says she will hold onto the property through the life of the lease so I am forced to pay the life of the lease. Can she actually do this? 

Also, with her stating this I did look back at the lease and she wrote down the incorrect address on the lease in which we signed and there is nothing in the contract about what happens if you break a lease.
