A term of lease is for the period of time agreed upon. You can not as a renter terminate the lease because of your relocation unless you have a clause in your lease that specifies you can do that for the reason named. That being said, most leaseholders are willing to work with you given your circumstances of relocation for employment reasons. Just talk with your landlord and explain your situation. If you read your lease you will probably find a clause that specifies what happens for early termination. Usually, there is a dollar penalty amount and sometimes even monthly rent due until the place is rented or leased again. Look over your lease and talk to your landlord. Good luck.
