Can you get your deposit back if your job relocates you and you have to break your lease and landlord finds someone to rent the house?

This depends on how your lease is written. You may (or may not) lose your deposit but if the landlord finds another renter you won't be responsible for the remaining months of rent you would have to pay until such renter is found.

What are my rights should the landord wish to break lease?
As a tenant, if the landlord wishes to break their own lease, you have the right to seek damages just as they would if you had broken your lease. The usual outcome for a landlord to break a lease is that the landlord forfeits any right to retain the security deposit.
Can you get your security deposit back if break your lease because someone is stalking you?
Unless you have solid proof that you can show the landlord than it is really up to him/her if they want to return your deposit. If you have filed a police report then you may want to provide the landlord with a copy. You may want to go back and read your lease contract again. There may be a loop hole in the fine print that may or may not release your obligation.
Can you break a lease in Indiana if victim of a crime at that location?
This depends: if you can demonstrate that there is a history of criminal activities, and one of which you are a victim of that type of criminal activity, then you might be able to break the lease. Keep in mind that any time you break a lease your landlord could keep the deposit. But if you break the lease for constructive reasons, such as the fact that your landlord is not doing enough to keep the property secure, safe, and decent, then you can sue the landlord for your deposit back and probably win. However, if you want to break a lease simply because you are victim of a crime that occurred on the property, that reason alone will probably not be a legal excuse.

How can you get out of paying rent if you can't afford it?
Is your home in great order and shape? Is your landlord fulfiling his end of the agreement? If you can say YES to either or both questions you might be able to break the lease by means of constructive eviction. If the answers are NO, then you can't break out of a lease, or if you do, you suffer the consequences: your landlord can keep the security deposit and you may be liable for the rent of the unit for each month it's vacant during the time of your lease or until the unit is rented out.
You have a lease now my wife has passed away can you break lease?
Technically, if you are in a lease then you cannot break it or the landlord can keep your security deposit and last month's rent. He can even sue you for loss of revenue up to the time the apartment is rent it out or the lease has expired, whichever comes first. That is the technical rule. But now here's the compassion issue: if your wife has passed away and there is compelling reason to break the lease, I am sure you can work something out with your landlord in which he can cancel the lease for you. But the landlord is usually not obliged to do this.
You have to break your lease early and the land lord wont give you your deposit or last month rent back and you have a room mate he told me she has to give me my money back not him is this legal?
If your landlord won't give you your deposit or last month's rent back you need to take him to small claims court. The judge will then decide who gets what. Your landlord has the right to keep your deposit if you violate the terms of your lease, including, but not limiting to terminating it early without good cause. He doesn't have the right, however, to keep your last month's rent as a security deposit.
Do you have to pay a penalty if you break your lease to move out of state?
This depends on the terms of your lease. Normally breaking a lease for any reason is grounds for the landlord to keep your deposit. If there are valid grounds for breaking the lease and the landlord keeps your deposit you can sue him for the amount he kept.
