When a tenant defaults on its lease, commonly because its business fell through, owners are generally required to try to find a new tenant for the space in a reasonable amount of time. However, the defaulting tenant is on the hook for rent for the remainder of the lease, unless a new tenant fills the vacant space. If that happens, then the defaulting tenant is liable only for unpaid rent for the time between its default and when the new tenant fills the vacant space.
