Breaking lease is far simpler and cheaper than selling. It's never taken me more than 2-3 weeks to find someone to take over the lease whereas it can take months to sell a house.

Because of this ease whenever I move jobs I always move house to be closer to work (after passing probation) because in my area changing jobs can easily add an hour a day to your commute.

Depends on the country really...in Switzerland you can be on the hook for a lot more than in the states, where breaking a lease typically only loses your deposit.
