Or do you have to stay until the lease is over?

Most landlords would not grant you leniency just because you bought a house. They don't care one way or another. But its all going to depend on your lease terms and how flexible your landlord is. You may have an option where you can break your lease for a small fee. Just go talk to them about it.

You do not have to STAY until the lease is over, but don't expect that buying a house is a legal excuse to break the lease. You are still legally and contractually bound by the terms of the lease, and will have to pay any costs associated with breaking the lease and re-renting the premises to another tenant.
If the unit does not re-rent until expiry of your lease, expect to pay the full value of the lease.

Yes you can cut the lease short but you will not receive you deposit back. Read the terms of your lease agreement, no one can keep you where you don't want to be but unfortunately no deposit back. But buying a house is a good reason to cut a lease short. Alot of places are different so def read ur lease agreement u signed

You are legally responsible until the lease expires, and can and will be charged rent until that date. You can, however, talk to the property manager and see if they will make an exception. Just don't count on it.

Our landlord said if he was able to rerent the apt. we could get out early. We scrubbed the place from top to bottom and it was rerented. I don't think they are required to do that, but if you are a good tenant they might be willing to work with you.

You have to discuss that with your landlord. He/she may want you to pay to find the next tenant.
