First, ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

Well first, you apparently weren't evicted. An eviction is a court order. If you just got a letter stating that you need to vacate, that's not an eviction.

But, it might depend on the wording of that letter. You could be held responsible for the balance of the lease. But, in most cases, if the landlord is terminating the lease for cause, then the lease is terminated and so is your responsibility.

If you were asked to leave because you were late paying the rent, you could be liable for the remaining months on the lease, assuming the landlord made reasonable efforts to find a relacement tenant.
