Due to financial reasons I have to break my lease early. I talked to my landlord and she agreed.

The problem:
She agreed only if she may keep my security deposit AND any damages caused to the property has to be paid out pocket. Her reasoning was that I was breaking the lease (which was inconvenient to her) and was no longer entitled to the security deposit.

Some more details:
I am renting a room, not the entire house and there are 3 other people living there including the landlord.
The lease was for a year and I have been here for 4 months.
I have given a letter of 30 days notice
I have found several possible replacements she just has to approve.
The lease does not include a clause about breaking it.

My question:
Is she entitled to keep the deposit? Let's say she accepts one of the candidates before loosing money in rent and there are no damages?
