Only if you have given proper notice (20 days before the next rent payment is due), completed the term of your current lease and left the premises in good repair less normal wear and tear.
The fact you have a new contract has no effect on your current landlord.
If you backed out of a new lease, the landlord has the right to hold the deposit to pay for the expenses of finding a new tenant and for the time that it remains unoccupied.

Under these circumstances, you may get your deposit back. It has nothing to do with law, simply the kindness of your landlord. The reason you have to move ASAP may play a great part in this. Of course, the premises must be in pristine condition and you must not have any utility bills left behind. Your best bet is to speak to your landlord. Good Luck! God Bless and Merry Christmas!

No....That is what a deposit is for. The lessor will now incur expenses because you are backing out. The deposit will help him to recover some of his expenses

Terms of the lease. Usually not.

No. If you signed it, you're bound by it.
