Carefully review your lease. There is usually a "buy out" option and if your company is requesting you to move they should cover the extra cost. Bring in a copy of your lease and let them know how much it's going to cost for you to "break" it and make them responsible for it.
A lease is a contract, your landlord doesn't care if your job wants you to move - usually the only way out of a lease without paying is if you're in the military.

Not unless your lease specifies that you will be relieved of your contractual agreement if you are transferred out of the area. The only place such a clause seems to be used is around military installations, since these folks often get transferred on short notice.
Other than that, your lease is a legal and binding contract, which you are expected to honor until its expiry.
Since your employer is the cause of your move, negotiate with your HR department to pick up this expense.

Contact your Landlord and offer to find a new tenant.
