Bullshit.
Honorable people, people with class and money, do not break leases.
They're upfront with the landlord, explain what is going on, and work out a compromise.
Yeah, they have to pay: so what?
That's what money is for ... if you have it, that is.
Without exception, people who fuck up in life enough to get sued and lose are ipso facto LOSERS.
Class tells, and its absence simply screams out loud.
