What is the law on breaking a lease early due to relocated for a job?

It depends on your state, but most likely there is no law. If your lease doesn't contain any provision for it, and if you're not a member of the military, then job relocation will not get you out of being responsible for the remainder of your lease.

Tell us where you're located and we can look it up. Or you can go to the sticky post at the top of the Real Estate Law forum and there you'll find the links to landlord/tenant laws for all of the states.

You are obligated to the terms of your lease, normally you will have to continue to pay the lease until the landlord finds a new renter.
