Essentially, all contract should have a Diplomatic/ Escape Clause and Reimbursement Clause to safeguard the interests of the tenant, as well as the landlord.
The tenant can terminate the tenancy contract before the agreed date of termination stated on the contract WHEN all conditions of the clause have been fulfilled. For instance, the clause may indicate the condition that the tenant can terminate the contract if he/she is transferred to a location further than XX km away from the current apartment DUE TO WORK REASONS. Nonetheless, there are certain requirements a tenant needs to fulfil as well - e.g. reimbursing part of the commission that the landlord has paid to his agent, giving the landlord due notice in writing etc.
Important thing is for both parties to agree with all the terms and conditions before you enter into any contract.
