    Also, in many apartments, if you try to break your lease, they will charge you a fee. We should have a regulation requiring landlords to refund the full amount charged for the previous lease if they find a new tenant to occupy the apartment after you leave.

    With current market, we have to keep relocating here and there and leasing for 12 month doesn't make sense.

      That already exists in many states. The problem is you need to take the landlord to court to recover, if they don't pony up.
