If the unit is rented immediately the landlord cannot charge you the rent for the rest of the terms on the lease, but may keep your deposit.

Can the landlord charge the tenant a fee for breaking the lease if the apartment is rented again in few days?
This depends upon whether that fee is quoted on your lease when you signed it. It is not there, then landlord cannot charge you because he rented the apartment quickly after you left. However he may be able to keep your security deposit if you broke your lease. If there was a lease, the terms are generally such that you are responsible for the rent for any month that the apartment is vacant from the time you vacate the apartment to the time the lease ends OR the apartment is rented out, whichever comes first. Since the landlord did not suffer any damage by breaking the lease - he rented out the unit just a few days that you left - there shouldn't really be any reason for him to charge a fee. But if that is stated on your lease then he has the right to do so.

This depends on if you are moving out before the lease is up.

If you move out of the dwelling where there is no lease, then you are not responsible for the rent.
