This is usually the standard requirement on a lease; absent a lease he cannot require this. But if you plan to move out before the lease expires then the landlord can require for you to find a replacement tenant, or you may be required to pay the rent for as long as the unit remains unoccupied, up to the time he finds a new tenant or the lease expires, whichever comes first.
