Landlord needing to break lease that hasn't started yet

[Aaron Ziegler]

Hello

I'm wondering what I can expect or what my obligation is if I need to break a lease that hasn't started yet? It technically starts in 3 days and due to a family situation, I need to move back into this house rather than rent it. I have a signed 6-month lease in place; however, no money has been transferred at this time. Any real-world knowledge or legal ramification information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Cancel someones lease 2 days before they're supposed to move in? That's a dick move.
