It depends on your state. Some states allow you to break a lease without a penalty if you have to be a caregiver to someone requiring you to move, or if you join the military active duty, your job relocates you a certain distance away, ect. look up the laws in your state. Search Tenant's Right to Break a Rental Lease in such and such state.

Just some added info, this specific reason is actually a federal law known as SCRA, and lessors don't have a choice in it. There's specific rules but they must let you break the lease early. Some states have more strict SCRA laws (for lessors), but they can't be less strict than the federal version.
