What are the laws to breaking a lease? Are there any fees or rules that tenants have to answer to aside from giving a 30 day heads up?

RE: Broken lease

If it is a month to month 30 or 60 days as stated in the lease. If it is a year long lease they are responsible to until they end date of the lease, if they do move out you need to mitigate damages by getting it rerented as soon as possible.
