I would try to mitigate the damages by trying to rent out he unit as fast as possible. And as soon as it is rented I would know what my actual damages are. that is what I would go after you for.
If that is ok with you, leave the property.

Wow, kind-of anal. If CA is not part of the U.S anymore, please correct me. The seven year credit law stills applies. Yes, you can re-age it every three years (or depending on the laws in your state). I doubt in any state you can re-age a collection after 10 years.
Funny thing is that the poster is might taking a risk to screw up his credit and the landlord can mess up his credit rating for breaking a lease but most creditors ignore or accept proof of payment (cancelled checks paid on time in the dwelling) and disregard any liens to Landlords
