Best way to protect myself against a lease break in NJ

[Adam F.]

I'm wondering the best way to protect myself against a tenant breaking a lease early in NJ. It is hard to fill a vacancy in the off-season.

Either I can add an Early Termination Fee to the lease, or add nothing and just rely on the law which I believe requires the tenant to pay the remainder of the term until the unit is re-rented. However, I've read that usually requires suing the tenant which I want to avoid.
