Well, it's either requiring rent to be paid throughout the entire lease term or not allowing leases to be randomly transferred to unqualified tenants. Does it really matter at that point which one GP meant?

A lease is a contract where you agree to pay throughout the entire term. That's evil?

Most municipalities at least in the USA also have tenant-friendly laws on that books that mandate either or both of:

a) landlords are disallowed from refusing reasonable sublease (e.g. one that passes the same credit check etc that you did)

b) landlords must release you from the remainder of a lease if you leave and a reasonably suitable replacement tenant is found

In Oregon they realized how evil it was and made this law:

ORS 90.302 E

The abandonment or relinquishment of a dwelling unit during a fixed term tenancy without cause. The fee may not exceed one and one-half times the monthly rent.
