Lease Termination

If it is necessary to terminate a commercial lease in Arizona, is the tenant relieved of financial liability if the property is leased to someone else and is it the landlords duty to seek a new renter, as in California law.

I entered a lease agreement to rent a duplex with the landlord knowing I was going to have a room mate. I signed my lease on Friday 11/20/09 and paid the rent and deposit for a Dec. 1st move in date. My proposed room mate informed me on Monday 11/23/09 that he wouldn't be able to go forward with the lease due to his lease that he was unable to break. I called the landlord that same day and informed them that we would not be able to go thru with the lease agreement. She informed me 2 days later that I signed therefore am responsible for the lease. What are my options and can I get my money back? I can not afford this lease on my own!

I am a month to month tenant. The owner is selling the house. I was just accepted to rent another house. Do I have to give 30 days notice or can I move with less notice, like 10 days?

I have defaulted in a commercial Lease with 7 months remaining,I have been contacted by an attorney from the Landlord, the balance remaining was $3,593, I just return keys on 11/2/09 and they offered me a settlement for the whole amount, but I feel that they would lease the office again in no more than 3 mos,I will pay $125 for 6 months and after that $150, so It will take me until Dec, 2011 to pay all of it, there is this on the agreement that I don't like and it is the following:In the event of Default, OSP shall be entitled to file a lawsuit against DEBTORS and shall be entitled to obtain a Final Summary Judgment in that lawsuit in its favor and against DEBTORS, solely based upon this Settlement Stipulation, for the full principal sum of $3,549.33, less any payments received, plus pre-judgment interest at the statutory rate allowable by law, per annum, since the date of the original default which gave rise to this Stipulation, as well as all costs involved in the filing of the suit and reasonable attorney's fees to be determined by the Court. What should I do, would they file a judgment if I don't agree, would I have a better chance to pay less, I leased it under an LLC and sign a personal guarantee, do I have any rights, obviously I did not pay because there was no business, please advice

In Virginia lease law, if your employer terminates your job, or you are required to move out of state, can you terminate an apartment lease without penalty?
