Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Constant vigilance. That's what you need to do to make sure they are "mitigating their damages." by looking for another tenant. By the way, they are not required to rent your unit before they rent another comparable unit. Think about it. If you were there, and they had one vacancy, by renting to that other person they would have no vacancies. By you leaving, if they rent your unit, they still have one vacancy and therefore a loss of income. It is true that they need to actively look; but if they have vacancies, it will be extremely difficult for you to argue that they have not lost money when you leave before the end of the term.

First, speak with your employer. Because they are relocating you, they may be willing to pick up all costs relating to the relocation, including the balance of any rent which may become due.If not, asindicated above, the landlord will be required to show the efforts made to re-rent the apartment and mitigate his damages prior to collecting it all from you.
