Duty to Mitigate Damages

In nearly all US states (e.g., Texas Property Code § 91.006, California Civil Code § 1951.2), landlords have a statutory obligation to make reasonable commercial efforts to re-rent the apartment. Once a replacement tenant begins paying rent, your ongoing rent liability immediately terminates.
