Hi Vucko84,

I would suggest contacting a tenancy advice service / association in Victoria to discuss the obligations and responsibilities in relation to break-lease costs.

Costs vary from state to state.

Also suggest reviewing the lease agreement, this should state what happens in the event of ending a lease early.

In essence, a tenant is responsible for reimbursing the owner for any additional costs incurred as a result of breaking the lease.

Hope this helps.
