State Landlord-Tenant Law
Early Termination of Lease

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California Tenant gave 30 days notice to terminate lease early. This is the renewed lease extension term. The paragraph in the original lease agreement states: "In the event of termination by Tenant prior to completion of the original term of the Agreement, Tenant shall also be responsible for lost Rent, rental commissions, advertising expenses and painting costs necessary to ready Premised for re-rental. Landlord may withhold any such amounts from Tenant's security deposit." The original rental agreement lease term ended on April 30, 2020. The renewal lease extended lease term for another 12 months, ending April 30, 2022. Tenant is claiming that Tenant has no obligation to pay for the lost rent because Tenant has completed the "original term of the agreement". Does it make sense that a tenant terminates/breaks lease before term ends can claim they do are not responsible for lost rent? Does the INTENT of a lease term agreement matter at all?
