Breaking lease costs

I am breaking a lease 10 months into 12 month lease. I'm fine with the general costs and not fine, but accept paying the rent until they find someone else.

Issue:

  1. The owners switched rental agency mid-lease. Now ofc they want me to pay for the cost of photography etc. which I think is crazy, given they would have to do that anyway.
  2. The agent was given nearly 90 days notice, the above issue is also causing them to delay advertising.
    Do I have a leg to stand on here?

Mine was probably Big W when I was at school. No roster, they would just call you DURING SCHOOL HOURS and ask if you'd work an 8 hour shift after school... Had to let them know several times I could work 4 or 6 hours, but 8 was a stretch. Didn't stop them asking.

First shift offer I had to turn down anyway, as I was unwell. Received a call back not long after from a manager asking if I thought I was going to get offered shifts if I turned them down? Completely dismissed me being sick etc.

Managers were ok for 1 night or so, then they turned horrible. Little man syndrome manager asked everyone to fill this one section in 5 minutes - I shit you not, he arrived back at 6 mins right as we were putting the last few items away and he took everyone out the back, he then proceeded to point at every single one of us asking if he knew why he was upset? Followed by screaming at everyone for 10 mins.

Another night, apparently they'd buffed some section of floor and someone had walked through it. The manager then proceeded to inspect everyone's shoes one by one to find the culprit. Oof, apparently it was me. I was then shown the area that I'd supposedly walked through - there were no signs or anything, I couldn't even tell which part was 'buffed' nor remember walking through it. I then hear a group of the managers standing there slagging me off within earshot and how they wanted me to pay for it.

Lasted about a month and quit. The little man called me, absolutely livid asking me why I'd quit lol. Wish I had the balls as a teenager to tell him exactly why.
