A well-written lease usually includes a clause explaining what happens if a tenant breaks the lease, such as:
- Financial penalties
- Early-termination fees
- A buyout clause
- Tenant responsibility for rent until the unit is re-rented
Some leases include a set buyout fee the tenant can pay. Others require the tenant to continue paying rent until the landlord re-rents the property, as required by Indiana law (Indiana Code § 32-31-5).
So the answer depends on what your lease specifically says, because each contract is different.

Does the normal residential agreement cover if someone breaks the lease?
I'm not really sure what you mean by a “normal” residential agreement — there isn’t truly a standard lease, because every landlord drafts them differently.
